  15. Patient family issues

    woody62 replied to foxc1121's topic in General Nursing

    woody62 replied to Tadpole's topic in General Nursing

    There are times when I see a person park in the 'blue' spot and they appear to be abled bodied. Able bodied in that they appeared to be suffering from no physical disability until I stop and think...
