Same reason I’ve given myself a permanent waiver on teaching preschool. Not my bag. That being said, I’m a lifer in the medical profession, and that blood on the floor makes me gag. It’s a testament to the uncalled-for violence that happened to her.

Hey, your friendly neighborhood ex-bouncer and security person here.

I completely agree. If you’re in a high stress job where you’re dealing with violent people on a regular basis, you need to know how to keep your temper and subdue people as peacefully and non-violently as possible. He apparently was unable to do that.
