"myles all your weird questions about rigamortis has me remembering this one lady we had in here. jesus christ.. she was on hospice. her daughter owned this fancy house up in the mountains. was a real piece of work that one. one night i come on, take a look at her care plan & there's a note saying don't leave this woman lying down after she dies. family instructions. i shit you not. &they want us to sit her up. & i'm praying it just don 't happen when i'm working but ofcourse it does cos *shrug* we are graveyard.sooo we look the other way & sit her up in bed.the family comes in.next thing i know i'm on the phone &they're wheeling her out of here past me, uncovered,in a wheelchair.what is this? weekend at bernies?!i fight with them not to use the main elevator so the living residents we have don't have heart attacks.they won't listen.throw a fit.home burial.no funeral announcement in the paper.she's probably still sitting in their living room. i swear you can get away with doing friggin anything if you have enough money." -Midwestern Night Nurse
