"Countless acts of assault, battery, aggression, and threats of violence that routinely take place in health care settings demonstrate a frightening trend of increasing violence faced by health care workers throughout the country," the study says.

"The risk of workplace violence is a serious occupational hazard for nurses and other health care workers," a recent study by National Nurses United found. In another hospital attack on Friday, a man stabbed a doctor and two nurses at Encino Hospital Medical Center's emergency department in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles and barricaded himself inside. The man remained inside a room in the hospital for about four hours as SWAT team members tried to unsuccessfully to negotiate with him before he was finally arrested, police said. This week's shooting that left four people dead at a Tulsa, Oklahoma, medical center is an all-too-familiar scenario for health care workers across the nation, who face assaults and even bullets on the job, according to studies and police reports of at least a dozen shootings across the U.S.

It's a medical nightmare: When the bullets fly not outside on the street but in the doctor's office or the hospital itself.
