Implementing Lasting Deterrents to Healthcare Violence




A while back I had an interview with DR. Charles Anderson on PWRN internet radio. We were discussing the violence in healthcare and what could we do about.I am writing the second of our list in Implementing lasting deterrents to healthcare violence.



Please give me your comments.
