Day 10

grabbing and twisting certain parts of the male anatomy. breaking a pinkie finger. these are acceptable actions should i find i am unable to extract myself non-violently from assault by a patient. fixable things only. i must protect myself, but also must try to not harm the patient.

i hope i remember this should the need ever arise.

watching a room full of va employees half-heartedly practice breaking free of various holds and grabs is somewhat worrisome. because many are making jokes and stupid poses. and because it really might be necessary someday for me to use these techniques.

a bear has been sighted in and around chillicothe, disturbing trash cans and causing general ruckus. a radio warning reminded citizens to not try to approach or touch the bear.
