I had one patie...Ah yes...I've had a similar week. I had one patient who insisted (and his family) that we had stolen his T-shirt. Apparently, it was too difficult for them to look in the drawer next to the bed to see his t-shirt there. Then there was the patient who's granddaughter came to visit and yelled at us for her grandfather not being showered yet. He's an independent patient (can take care of himself), and when asked earlier if he would like to get cleaned up, declined the offer. He said he wanted to wait for his granddaughter. Fine with me, but why didn't he tell her that!!!<BR/><BR/>Finally, we had one patient who acted like a complete assist all the time. Had us bed bathe him, get his food ready, etc. His wife came to visit and informed us that we were spoiling him and he can do all of that himself. When he was confronted about it, he admitted that he had no physical limitations and can take care of himself. Thanks for taking up a huge amount of my time. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about patient care, but if you can do it for yourself, I'm going to encourage it!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00930530847384062614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-1117995645757281332005-06-05T11:20:00.000-07:002005-06-05T11:20:00.000-07:00Just to say I think your blog is great!
