This evening I had a patient who is mentally slow, gifted in drawing, and wonderful to care for. He is planning to go to Texas next summer, and here is his list for the trip:
Sears Store
1. Umbrella
2. Cowboy hat
3. Number shirt
4. T-top with pictures
5. Leather gloves for a cowboy
He explained his routine of an evening snack of something like pudding or a number of other things. When I told him that he still couldn't have anything to eat, he wrote on his hand "NPO diets" and looked at me saddly for confirmation. It's a lovely diet: nothing by mouth, and I get to enforce it.
