It's always reassuring to see the successful results of a treatment that has been implemented. One of the tasks in today's doctor's job book was listed as "please review laxatives".
So I went to the bottom of this chap's bed and enquired at standard elderly care level of decibels:
- How are your BOWELS today sir. [It is the sort of word that requires emphasis]
- Oh very good doctor, you should see what the nurse wrote about them. [Beams with pride]
I looked at the nursing stool chart.
Day 1 - smearing
Day 2 - Type 6 stool - small amount
Day 3 (today) - Type 6 stool - Offensive. VERY LARGE.
- Er.. well done sir.
