One lady is Chinese Water Torture to me . . . of course, this all might be hypothetical

Place: Long term care facility.

Me:  These hearing aids appear to need new batteries.

That Woman: No, they don’t; they were changed last Wednesday.

Me at 3pm: Mrs. X does not have her hearing aids yet; may I take them to her?

That Woman: Does she need them when  she’s sleeping?

Me: We’re trying to visit.

That woman: Well . . . all right.

Me: Mrs. X, who never complains, mentions increased pain in shoulder. I put on the call button and about 20 minutes later an aide shows up. I tell her what Mrs. X said and she says she will let the nurse (That Woman) know.  An hour later That Woman shows up and I tell her of the increased pain. She looks at Mrs. X, who is dozing and asks, “And Is she in pain now?”

And that is the tip of the iceberg.
