    Wow, you said exactly what I was thinking. I recall a patient I had in LTC who incessantly called out for help. She was not demented, just impatient and had a sense of entitlement. When staff...

    And then when these women are hospitalized for other reasons, they wildly protest having a male caregiver assist them with bathing and other personal ADLs. Oh yes, can't have possibly have a male...
