Daniel Nelson was just doing his job. 🏥
This nurse at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in Australia was escorting an intoxicated patient toward the emergency department exit when the man came back in and attacked him without warning. Security cameras captured everything: Nelson did not hesitate and used his years of jiu-jitsu training to restrain him and protect both his own life and that of other patients and workers.
The video went viral and reopened an urgent debate about the violence healthcare staff face every day. How many nurses have to improvise self-defense just to survive their shift? 😔
