This is fairly common in the hospital, so I ducked into his room and was like “hey dude what’s up” and he’s like “so sorry to yell but do you know where I am and what year it is” so I reoriented him to a bunch of stuff and explained why so many people were walking past his door, and he seemed much calmer and more oriented by the time we were done talking. And he says “and what’s your name?” So I tell him “Sarah” and he stares at me so I repeat “Sarah” and he stares at me so I spell “S-A-R-A-H” and he stares at me so I show him my name badge and he stares at me and then he says “now forgive me for being so blunt. But I was under the impression that Sarah is a girls name. Is that no longer correct?” >>> >>> Anyway y'all ever be so fucking gnc that you inadvertently gaslight a confused old man into thinking there’s yet another part of the world he no longer understands? >> >> Not to keep bragging about my masculine vibes, but another very pleasant dementia patient today called me nice young man.
