its a good thing i have a sense of humor!!

This happened to me a few months ago, but one of my nursing colleagues reminded me of it, and I think its too funny not to share...

Last term, the first patient I ever had was a dementia patient. And I am not one to make fun of dementia patients because my grandma died of it, but again, it was just so funny and totally threw me off guard. Here was one of our first conversation:

Patient: How old are you?
Me: 20.
Patient: Oh...you don't look that old.
Me: Oh? How old do you think I look?
Patient: 40.
