Welcome to California. If I get punched by a patient I am swinging right back.

If they're swinging because of dementia, cva, diabetes etc you're going to swing back? Really?
Psych is a medical issue. ?????
What in your mind is the difference between a patient with a heart problem, lung problem, liver problem, or brain problem?
For those patients who are aggressive due to medical issues my partner and I (fire and LEO) will take them down to get them under control. If I have a psych patient swing on me and hit me then yes I will swing back followed by a take down to gain control of the scene.
Just so I understand, you do or do not respond to aggresive psych patients differently from aggresive "medical" patients.
From your post it looks like you treat the 2 groups differently?
It's not necessary, inappropriate, and unprofessional.
I would want a drunk 15 year old who commits assualt and battery on me to be imprisoned for as long as the law allows. Same as if he got behind the wheel and killed someone.
Why would you want other people to see that if they assualt you, they get a slap on the wrist? If it is a diabetic person, or similar that is different due to the fact that they did not do it on purpose: But a person does not "accidently" drink themselves to the point of being physically abusive.
