In what scenarios might medical personnel be lied to?

    Drug Seekers

    Child Abuse Cases

    Alledged Sexual Assaults (Very important for SANE nurses)

    Attempted Suicide Patients

 

Quite often medical personnel are the first people a subject encounters in the above scenarios. Parents or others bring in a child and tell the medical personnel about the injuries. The words they use at that moment are crucial to determine what transpired, how the child was hurt.

 

 A subject is interviewed by ER staff after threatening to commit suicide. Suicidal subjects are especially skilled at deceptive language to enable their release. Are they lying their way out of the ER? How do you know?

 

Often a victim of an alleged sexual assualt arrives at the hospital for a SANE examination, and provides the nurse and doctor with information of the alleged assault. Are they being honest? Are they lying? Are you, the nurse documenting the EXACT words the victim uses or are you paraphrasing what they tell you in your report? Are you documenting their mannerisms and emotions by detailing their facial expressions or simply saying they appeared sad, scared, angry etc? Do their emotions appear in conflict with what they experienced? How can you tell? What does it mean?

 

We can provide training to enable you to analyze the subject's words and non verbal communications enabling you to know if the subject is being honest or deceptive. Being able to read a person is a crucial skill in the medical field.

 

We can also teach you to read the patient, family and friends with them for hidden signs of anger, fear and sadness that might signal a sudden outburst, linked to Pre Attack Cues. Understanding the emotions being displayed at any given moment can prepare you for a subject to suddenly escalate and become violent. Too many nurses are injured each year by patients suddenly becoming violent, and I have heard the words many times, "I never saw it coming."
