An angry customer shot me #silentnomore

According to OSHA “between 2011-2013, workplace assaults ranged from 23,540-25,630 annually with 70-74% occurring in healthcare and social service settings. For healthcare workers assaults account for 10-11% of workplace injury versus 3% of all private sector employees.” This is UNACCEPTABLE and as the founder of Pharmacist Moms, I will be #silentnomore. Yesterday a pharmacist and a pharmacy technician were SHOT and are currently in the hospital. As health care providers, we must demand from our leadership more protocols and zero tolerance for any form of violence. This is not new to healthcare and we need to bring light to this situation. My thoughts and prayers for the victims and pharmacy staff and the patients of the pharmacy. Pharmacists play a unique role in healthcare and are caregivers and oftentimes similar to other healthcare providers have a difficult time taking legal action against patients, but we should. We will be #silentnomore
