All right, thank you.
I kind of thought that was going to be your answer. But as you say, it seems that in the medical and nursing professions there's an attitude that is, for lack of a better word, macho. You know, if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. You're right, there is that mindset that if you're sick or injured, so what; you're supposed to rise above it. I think we have to evolve beyond that.
Ms. Silas, you talked about staffing issues. As you probably know, in Manitoba it's made the news a lot, and I witnessed this first-hand when I took a family member to the emergency department last weekend. We have severe staffing issues. I was there during a night shift when literally all of the nurses had been coming off a day shift and were mandated to work an additional eight hours overnight. Of course, this leads to short tempers, to fatigue, to errors. It leads to upset patients.
Do you see an increase in violence toward staff that seems to be correlating with the shortages of staff in departments?
