ROFL, gotta love auto spell correct. I got a text the other night that read:

Excellent! Probably true!
You might be on to something and I bet JCAHO would be happier as it is a less restrictive measure, lol.

Definitely may work, but think of the side effects/consequences.

hahahahahaha! A little Media could probably go a looong way to keeping some patients calm.

Out of curiosity, what was the original text? (What was he given that autocorrect turned into "Media"?)

I love corn, smoked corn to be exact, and it would calm me right down. Lol.

Hmm... That just might work on the Gero-Psych Unit. Yeah! I can see it now...

Well, you have no idea how many of my patients resort to a little self-loving to help calm themselves down. I remember one time I had a patient on a 1:1 and the tech assigned to him reported to me that the patient was masturbating.
"Is the patient exposing himself?" I asked.
"No, he's doing it under the covers."
"Then just look at the floor near the bed and let him be. He's entitled," I replied.
It took my making a whole pot of Starbucks coffee to make it up to my poor tech.
Meriwhen said:the tech assigned to him reported to me that the patient was masturbating.
Perhaps the Tech needed to hear Woody Allen's Take on Masturbation...
