Ok...one more and then I'll stop because, trust me, I could fill up this thread with stories from by first year of nursing alone!

We had a 94 year old man come in, brought in by his family. Apparently, he had been driving and hit another parked car. He left the scene and went home. Because he sustained some bruises from the accident, his family brought him in. During his assessment, we realized that this man had dementia, nearly end stage. We brought this up to his family which they, of course, denied. Dad was just FINE! He still drives, and gets around ok, and he's fine! Yeah, he still drives...and hits other cars without even realizing it (thank god it wasn't a child!), and he doesn't speak...merely parrots back what he's asked (ex. What's your name? Reply: Your name. How do you feel Mr. X. Reply: Feel Mr. X.) We realized WHY his family was so anxious to have him released and so adamant that he was lucid, when they revealed that they just bought a new house and good ol' dad's social security check was paying their mortgage. *smh*
