I work with 9 adults and one client that requires several staff to use mant holds i have 1 staff person with me if you had used the right mant holds and guidelines you would have not gotten hurt my employer sees that if a client goes off you are required by law to get another staff i find it hard to think that you were alone with 2 hard to handle clients.
