What, hitting their heads on lampposts and falling down a ditch? I know NHS hospitals are a bit hectic, but that just doesn't sound like a safe medical environment.

Have you ever been in an A&E dept on a Saturday morning?

I work in A&E as a mental health worker.....erm yes we do have to deal with a lot worse. When there is someone having a psychotic break we have to make sure that a. The person doesn't hurt others and b. They don't hurt themselves. Occasionally this means restraining and that doesn't necessarily happen with the help of the police.
Rolling around in blood, vomit, urine and faeces is part of the job occasionally.

Meh.
People always gush when sportsmen/women have to deal with horrible things. Most nurses (or even some teachers) suffer as much in their jobs.
