My favorite part about my job is the funny and interesting things that old people say. The other day I was seeing a patient that has dementia who lives in an assisted living facility (ALF!) who has dementia. I asked her what she had for lunch.
“Oh honey, some sort of hamburger miss-match… it was terrible.”
I found that to be hilarious, in her sweet little old lady southern accent.
Another 85-year-old patient with Alzheimer’s:
“My throat hurts.”
“What do you suppose is wrong with it?”
“Well I swallowed some sewing thread when I was a little girl and I think it’s suck in there. Could you take me to the hospital to suction my throat?”
