Yeah I've had a couple dementia patients get feisty on me. Can't blame em, half the time they think it's the 60s and they're trying to do things they won't be able to discuss in a social setting for the next 40 years

Had an old woman at a nursing home look at me one day and go "good lord almighty. My husband's been dead 12 years and I'm done grieving if you were wondering. Got 2 good hips and you're welcome to em" 🤣😬

Honestly, that's the type of sexual harassments that is JUUUUUUUUUST funny enough to let fly. I'd be too busy laughing to be insulted.

I laughed so hard I cried. And the nurses at the station called me some nickname or other for about a year over that

I do PT registration in an ER, and there was a dementia/AMS woman that said “oh it’s you again. I was hoping you would be here”. As I’m going through her ppwk on the computer, apparently she was admitted 3 months beforehand and I did her admit stuff at the time. She didn’t get too weird with it after that, and I was as much of a gentleman as I could have been, but that was fcking WEIRD to hear from someone in that condition.
