This morning I went to see an elderly patient with severe dementia. He was in a pleasant mood during my exam and on my way out the door I wished him a happy Veteran's Day. His face instantly changed and he began to weep quietly. I could only make out a few of his words...
Laying there....
Dead...
Birds pecking at their eyes....
And then he broke down. Inconsolable. There are some memories that even Alzheimer's can't erase.
To those who have served our country so bravely.....
Thank you.
