Hi Alex,
Sorry I haven't been around to respond.
Sounds like the nurse really overreacted. I mean of course you shouldn't hit people-- but calling the police seems really premature.
I suppose she might have thought you were about to become really violent-- and I guess she could have felt that you had crossed the line. But if she found you threatening, why not call a doctor, or just get reinforcements from some of the staff?
It sounds as though it turned out more or less okay in the end-- luckily. I guess you dodged a bullet as they say. Although they also say that all's well that ends well.
I guess in the future maybe screaming at her, rather than taking physical action, could have caused a more self-protective commotion-- and taking a few deep breaths and coming back the next day at a different time would have been a more effective --and altogether more rational--strategy.
I'm glad it turned out as it did.
