BINGO...a dangerous game?



I apologize for the lack of posting, school has just started back and thus has been given all of my attention in the reading/writing areas.


I've got an AMAZING set of professors/classes/clinicals this semester. My clinical group for geriatrics was suppose to be meeting at a local V.A. hospital, but somehow we were moved to a local nursing home at the last minute. God being awesome *as usual* actually ended up blessing us with one of the most professional/cleanest/non-pee smelling assisted living facility I've ever been to. I don't know about you...but most nursing homes just have that rank pee smell to them..they are depressing and the people there are just dying to leave the place!


Well, at the facility I have the privelage of practicing at, not only is everything clean smelling an looking but the decoration and patient rooms are outstanding! I never imagined a place like this existed in the world!


*funny story time*


I was gathering information about my patient today in a little conference room just outside of the patient day room. Around 10 am we hear an overhead announcment that says.."It's BINGO time in the day room!" Naturally my fellow classmates and I were like..."Awww...BINGO...how sweet." Shortly thereafter we hear a shout from a lady, "HAPPY DAY, I got me a BINGO!" *and we thought it would stop there ...oh no...* Imagine you are at the recent Greenbay packers and NY Giants football game...and the crowd is going wild at the thought of a game in overtime....

We hear the lady's voice again, "I'm tellin' ya...I got a BINGO! Hear me?? I say WAHOO!! Don't make me come over there!"
