Yeah, who really knows?
My 89 year-old mother with dementia if she’s alert, likes to interact with the nurses. Today a female nurse tried to get her to shake hands as she went by in the hall, and instead my mom (from her wheelchair) patted her on the butt as she walked away.
It’s likely the nurse will NOT report it to the press.
Ha! Good story. We learn a lot about human nature by observing dementia patients.
