    Medpass at mealtime a dignity issue?

    eriksoln replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You say tomato, I say toemato. I don't see a dignity issue. I see a lack of individualized care. When you mentioned giving meds in the dining room, I couldn't help but assume that means LTC. If any...

    Look at it this way: Fire is hot. It burns the skin. I never actually put my hand into the fire to know that. No 3rd degree burns on me anywhere. Sooooo...........you can take me on faith or, go...
