Wow, 101!
But can you tell me why you need to rehab a 101 years old lady?
To go back to her pre-morbid functional status?
Isn't this a bit too much?
I am not discriminating elderly but seriously, at the age of 101, won't you think you have lived enough? With pneumonia, pulmonary oedema, rapid AF, NSTEMI, bowel ca, fractures...
Possibly the most torturing thing is that you see family members younger than you passing away.
Why would you come to rehab?
Wont you like to stay at home in your own bed?
Or rather I should say, why did u get sent to rehab?!
*grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrh*

4 把轻声细语:
u whine coz u dun like to do her paperwork =P but yea, i get ur point....why?!
i have to salute this 101...she physically looks like a 70-ish...ya somehow my patience gets tested every day in this rotation T.T
That's basic and quality of life that needed by everyone nevertheless how old r u!!!
I haven't met this 101 yo patient before I posted this. I just read the medical discharge summary and started to imagine this old lady lying there with weak body and could barely walk without getting shortness of breath. In reality, she is probably stronger than 90% of the rest of the patients. She does deserve a spot in rehab.
