The Journal’s investigation shows just how serious the situation in Irish hospitals has become, with nearly 20,000 incidents of aggression or violence in just three years and the Mercy Hospital case, where 88 year‑old Matthew Healy was killed by another patient, is the starkest reminder of what’s at stake.

Imagine having to wear a stab vest to work. WTF! Who’d ever want to work in that environment as a degree graduate who went to university.

Great. I’m going in for surgery soon, possibly as soon as next week. Though it is St. Vincent’s in south Dublin, and they get a better class of patient. 😉
But seriously, the idea that hospitals even need security guards is sad. If anywhere is supposed to be a safe space, that’s an example.
