It is terrible that any facility would permit a demented patient to eat a rat. Next thing you know it will be a dog, cat, or God forbid another human. It seems to me that a Zombie titer should be mandatory for admission to these facilites.

How about this?: Take care of your own family and don’t send them off to a home.

And another shocker. Ninety year old dudes die.

Today I fired the Orkin man and I am transferring Grandpa from the nursing home to my spare bedroom.

And here we see 4 comments from the best of the medical profession. Or so they think!

“How about this?: Take care of your own family and don’t send them off to a home.”

A lot of people lack the skill or the financial ability to take time off and care for someone 24/7. Particularly someone with dementia.

“And here we see 4 comments from the best of the medical profession. Or so they think!”

And here we see a pathetic attempt at scolding from a witless bleeding heart.

Make that a “feckless” bleeding heart with a patent foramen orale.

I’d bet you’re a good candidate to die with a rodent in your mouth.

Make that “feckles”s bleeding heart with a patent Foramen Magnum.

What did the patient mean by repeating “the blood is the life”?
