I was looking after this lovely little old lady who was in her 90s. She had a bit of dementia, had a chest infection, some heart failure and a bit of new confusion on top of that. She was usually pretty pleasant and amiable, but sometimes she got a little narky.
One morning we went and saw her on the rounds and she told us to scratch her back. We were busy and didn’t have time to scratch her back. She told us we were useless, not real doctors, mustn’t have studied, and we could “learn a lot” if we just “stuck with her”…
I guess she was a bit right… scratching where it itches is a basic summary of how things often get treated…

As a nurse in training (studying my first year at the moment at Uni) I think these photos are great. Definitely would like to see more! Perhaps some of yourself too?
I hope for whatever reason your in hospital is going well.
