Dementia Humor

I was admitting an elderly lady and asked her a routine question regarding whether she has ever smoked.

She answered, "No, but I f#cked a lot."

Later, she was taken down for some x-rays of her foot. When she got back, she complained that instead of x-raying her foot, they had been taking pictures of her vagina.

Dementia is a sad thing. I deal with it by laughing hysterically.

Another confused patient needed to be turned and to have the skin on her back checked for pressure ulcers. As I rolled the patient over against her will, my coworker leaned her head over to take a look at her bottom. At that precise moment, the patient explosively pushed out some gas.

My coworker said, "How rude."

Usually, I put some distance between me and a patient's room before I start laughing, but this time I lost it. Nursing can be quite funny sometimes.
