The Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital team faces significant challenges, especially during the demanding four o'clock hour, marked by exhaustion and incidents of violence. Nurse Dana's recent assault by a patient raises serious concerns about workplace safety, emphasizing that many nurses share similar troubling experiences. Despite Dr. Robby's pleas for enhanced security measures, management's inaction leaves staff feeling vulnerable and stressed. As the shift progresses, it becomes evident that the safety of employees is paramount, especially if they wish to retain their workforce amidst increasing concerns and potential nursing shortages.
Dana, of course, wants no special attention as she walks into the hospital with a broken nose and tries to downplay what's happened, but she's clearly rattled - everyone is. It opens up a much larger discussion about safety for employees at the hospital - almost every nurse has a story about being assaulted by a patient.
When even Dr. Robby is declaring out loud, 'Oh my god, I can't wait for this shift to be over,' you know it's been a tough one. And the way this one ends, it doesn't seem like it's going to get any easier as we head into the home stretch.
