Some clinics, he says, are already asking patients to leave their bags at the front desk and, going forward, there need to be standards for how to manage difficult patients who might be demanding, aggressive or suffering from mental illness.“Even though this was a rare thing physicians and their staff are vulnerable every single day.”
The president of the Alberta Medical Association says Reynolds’s death highlights the need for changes to make the profession safer across Canada. Molnar said the medical body’s healthy working environments advisory committee will discuss whether there’s an expanded role for the association in the area of safety and workplace violence.“I have been speaking with the Canadian Medical Association and my counterparts at the provincial and territorial medical associations and there are concerns on a pan-Canadian basis regarding everything from physical security to psycho-social safety.

Absolutely horrendous. My heart goes out to the family, especially those little kids he had to unnecessarily leave behind. I've seen Dr's treated like crap by people they're trying to help. Time for change
Sounds like guns are needed
