   Thaks for posting this article again. I've been commenting, but I hadn't read the story that kicked off the discussion. I was born that year. I wonder how many women spit on the page even back then?

   These are very forced "either-or's" We really don't make these decisions on a global or national scale. The relationship between two people IS within their power to shape. Government and media can support certain trends, but we are foolish to turn ...

11. From the residents perspective!

    nurseguy55 replied to marjoriemac's topic in Geriatric

    I agree with you completely. Especially about the refocusing technique " What if this was my Mom/Dad" Puts things in perspective. Too much time and so many needs, but what the hell are we there for if we have to brush by these wonderful people? tha...
