So I'm rounding on a morbidly obese 84 year old admitted with acute delirium on advancing dementia. It's kind of sad. Here's a lady who's family hasn't made one appearance in the seven days she's been in the hospital. Not one.
She's called a few of the nurses whores. She's even used the "N" word a few times. You'd think she was crazy and needed committed right? You'd think she had a few harsh words for Happy, given his no nonsense approach to medical care, right? Well, not exactly.
Mrs Smith: Who are you?
Happy: I'm your doctor. I've seen you everyday for the last week
Mrs Smith: You don't look familiar
Happy: I'll see you tomorrow Mrs Smith. I have to go now.
Happy walking away
Mrs Smith: Come back here son. I want to tell you something.
Happy walks back to listen closely.
Mrs Smith: You sure are a handsome young thing.
Something tells me she's not as confused as everyone thinks she is. In fact, given that she tests positive for Happy's Handsome sign, I think she's ready for discharge back to the community. The question is, did she catch me in my haircut before or after state.
