i was at the med cart crushing medications... one of my patients w/Alzheimers was sitting by the med cart which is her norm... as im crushing the med its a bit noisy from the constant banging... resident says, "well damn you must be very mad"..... too funny!

Specializes in LTC.

It was LOL's birthday and after I sang her happy birthday I asked her how old she is. She said she was 21. I said "about 70 years ago you were 21!" She starts howling in laughter then stops abruptly and says "you just made me pee!"

Just today, same lady says. "I'm gonna report you" I said "for what?" she said "I don't know, but I'll think-a somethin!"

When I was doing my training I ahd a placement in a palliative care unit. There were three sex bedded bays and the rest were single rooms. We were having a bad run one Saturday and three people died in the same bay. We pulled the curtains around all the beds yet again and brought the trolly in to transfer the third body to the morgue. As we're wheeling the body out one little old lady yelled out "It's like ten green bottles in this place!"
