I work in a long-term care center & one day an Elvis impersonator came in to perform for the residents.After he was done he was strolling through the building,greeting the residents. He stopped beside one little old lady sitting in a wheelchair & asked,"Do you know who I am?" "No"she said,"But if you ask that nurse over there, she can tell you."

In a closed secure unit, we had a combative with very long finger nails. She would dig everyone she could reach. One day her RN said I need help holding her steady so I can cut her nails.

Well, four of us eventually ended up in that room, attempting to be as gentle as possible we held her. I sat on the bed and put my leg over her leg (she tried to kick us) and took her arm, holding it steady and controlled. She was so frustrated that all the names she called us did not do the intended damage, she tried the kicking, hitting and digging again. That did not work. So she tried to bite us......but she had no teeth.

Suddenly she stopped all attempts to get free, calmly looked at me and said........."You hit her."
