GP ‘spat on and scratched’ working in hospitals
Aggression and disrespect a growing problem, says Bathurst GP Dr Rachel Jack
A NSW GP has described being spat on, scratched, sworn at and abused while working in hospitals and says disrespect towards doctors and medical staff is becoming a “huge problem”.
Dr Rachel Jack, who has returned to her home town of Bathurst in NSW’s central west to start a new practice, says the issue in hospitals is widespread and growing.
