1/I've posted concerns about the president's mental fitness for duty. This is not meant as a partisan attack. Others have written extensively on this and I will provide some references for further reading. I'd like to share my background, why I care, and why I'm alarmed.
2/As an RN I've cared for patients w/ various mental illnesses & dementia along the spectrum of coherence to psychosis & in the case of dementia: memory loss, anger, paranoia, confusion, eventually catatonia. Respect & compassion were always my practice along w/ self protection.
3/Mental illness is also personal. It is a multi-generational fact of my life. Sitting at the bedside of a sibling; matted hair, ragged clothing, open sores, cellulitis, uncontrolled crying-my heart breaking; I KNOW the value of conveying the inherent dignity of every person.
