Sad old people

For the most part, working on geriatrics has been fun. The patients are usually very nice and appreciative of your help and their families are the same (again, usually). I'm at the rehab unit right now and it's hilarious watching 88 year olds on exercise machines, or doing laps around the unit with their walkers.

However, there's some not-so-nice elderly folk, whose sole purpose is to ruin your day. Just like the old lady who yelled at me for saying "Uh-huh" instead of "Yes". Or the 96-year old miserable woman with hyponatremia and C. diff diarrhea yelling, "Nurse!....NURSE!!!" every 10 seconds for 5 minutes straight.
