When health care workers call a Code White, it's an emergency
response for a violent incident: a call for help. But it's one that
goes unanswered in hospitals, clinics, and long-term care homes
across the country. Code White exposes a shocking epidemic of
violence that's hidden in plain sight, one in which workers are
bruised, battered, assaulted, and demeaned, but carry on in
silence, with little recourse or support. Researchers Margaret M.
Keith and James T. Brophy lay bare the stories of over one hundred
nurses and personal support workers, aides and porters, clerical
workers and cleaners. The nightmarish experiences they relate are
not one-off incidents, but symptoms of deep systemic flaws that
have transformed health care into one of the most dangerous
occupational sectors in Canada. The same questions echo in the wake
of each and every brutal encounter: Is violence and trauma really
just part of the job? Why is this going underreported and
unchecked? What needs to be done, and how?
