So I started dating someone new a few months ago, he seems like a really nice person and we’ve not had any real issues whatsoever, however there is one thing starting to play on my mind.
He is a porter at a hospital, and he always seems to be in trouble for having incidents with other staff members and on the odd occasion, patients. I can think of 3 separate occasions just within the last couple of months - the most recent one being last week with a HCA. He said it’s been the situation of they’ve either been rude to him and the other porters or patients have been abusive to the staff members, and he has stepped in to help sort of thing.
A couple of examples I can remember is an agency nurse pulling the bed back incorrectly and injuring his shoulder, and him “losing his shit” at the nurse and another example of the HCA being asked to do something and then walking away and calling him a name, and then he followed and confronted her sort of thing about it.
Is this genuine occasions where he was right to stick up for himself but legally they have to go through the disciplinary process or is this a red flag for him having anger issues in general?
Just to clarify, he has never ever ever even got annoyed with me about anything let alone angry, never raised his voice, never even argued with me - we’ve had one very minor disagreement and it was handled really maturely on both sides and swiftly dealt with.
