Geriatric Unit Dispositions
As I watch the news these days. It dawned on me, if we are culturally accepting of our elected leaders having dementia, perhaps we should expand our geriatric unit dispositions. Expedite this pipeline.
Arrange family meetings, at time of admission, for families that have a little bit more resources, to consult with political campaign managers, for their viability to run for office. Just check the box "Campaign Manager Consultation" it will be right under Social Work order, Dietary, and...

Do Neurologists over diagnose dementia to fill up their panels?

I could help a person up with my left hand, but it's painful when the right one is squeezed too hard and I want to avoid that. I ran into this the other week when a strong male patient with dementia squeezed my right hand really hard and it really hurt.
Is getting someone else to help me with getting patients out of bed or to walk people considered to be a reasonable accommodation? I don't...
