See...See...this is why we should not work with old people...it's very bad for one's blood pressure and mental wellbeing. 1200 words to go on the 'Why do old people die' dissertation. Whooo!

Don't you love patients!!!
I often get similar:
"Are you taking any medication at all?"
"Oh no, nothing....
just my pills from the doctor"
