The humourous side of Geriatric Psychiatry...



I just love this photo! It's my favorite and I use it in presenations that I give at work when ever possible. I dont know why I chose to put that up there, but that I was just thinking to myself about how much work I have yet to do before I graduate with my Masters in Geriatric Psychiatry. And sometimes people ask me why I would choose such a career... but this photo pretty much sums it up! Aaahhh, gotta love the oldies!!!!

8 more sleeps until Canada... I cant wait to go home and see everyone. My present mission is to dodge what ever virus is running through my team and friends at the moment. Swine flu perhaps? A cough, congestion, aches, headaches... and I've been off my food! You know if Brandi is unwell if she doesnt finish her dinner!!!! But fingers crossed my recent dedication to yoga is helping my immune system FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT off the bad guys!

Two elderly gentlemen are playing cards on Saturday evening as they have done for the past 35 years. Max, the older, had been having problems remembering what cards were what, and usually needed help from his wife. At the end of the card game Ed said to Max, "You did very good tonight. You didn't need any help at all. Why is that?"

Max replied, "Why ever since my wife sent me to that memory school,
I haven't had any problems at all."

“Memory school? What memory school?"

Max thought for a moment, "Oh, what's that flower that's red with thorns?
A really pretty flower...?"

"A rose?"

"Yeah...that's it!" Max turned to his wife and mumbled,
"Hey, Rose! What's the name of that memory school you sent me to?"

hahahaha
