A Cute and Fluffy Post

We had an admission recently from a Nursing Home. The patients name was Bill*. He has some residual learning difficulties from an accident some years previously and needs full nursing care hence the reason he ended up in a NH.

In amongst the paperwork sent from the NH was a list of demands that Bill would likely to shout out during the course of the day. Bill is dysphasic which essentially means that his speech is impaired or muddled so this list was incredibly important so we were able to understand what Bill was asking for.

This is the list...

What Bill Says.... (What Bill Means)

  • Hungry..... (Bill is hungry)
  • Wazza.... (Bill needs to pee)
  • Wyatt.... (Wipe it [penis])
  • A bit.... (Move Bill up a bit)
  • Fuck you.... (Self explanatory)
  • I want to kill you all dead.........................

Nice man!




*obviously not his real name!

Luckily, he thought I was brilliant!

Somehow, I always made him giggle! He never once told me he wanted to 'kill me dead'.

Would have been proud as punch if he had! I hate patients that have a 'dead life'.
