I've only been in geriatrics a few months but it has been a learning experience. I had an old man today that cracked me up. He's been there 2 days and came from his home. I was feeding him and he didn't want to eat or participate too much. He's having trouble adjusting. He used to be a lawyer and it really shows because he likes to negotiate. He leaned over to me and asked,"How long you been here? Do you got any pull?" I said, " a few months, and I might have some pull. What do you want?" He said, "How fast can you get me out of here, and into bed?" Then he winked at me and said, "I meant to lay down, but if you took it another way, I'm ok with that too."
