Text and Talk!

Have you ever wondered what really happens at senior facilities? In this raw and uncensored episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the bizarre, hilarious, and sometimes disturbing realities of working in senior healthcare.
From my archives comes a collection of unforgettable tales that perfectly capture the stranger side of caring for elderly patients. There's the diabetic who demanded 60 ounces of regular Coca-Cola daily despite having already lost part of his leg, and the woman who transformed her room into an 80s time capsule complete with vintage perfumes that made her space smell "exactly like the Golden Girls' house" – all while insisting I call her "Delicious" (which I absolutely refused).
The healthcare system itself comes under scrutiny as I reveal the shockingly simple "BIMS test" used to determine a resident's mental competence – remember three words and know approximately what year it is, and you're deemed capable of making all your decisions. I discuss paradox where patients refuse to practice essential skills like coming down to the dining room, then complain when their food arrives cold to their rooms.
Most memorably (though you might wish you could forget), I share my encounters with what staff called "doodoo men" Hope you enjoy!
