I've got one for you! He's been on my unit for 30 days now. Very much a borderline and just a little developmentally disabled. He will tell you he's not feeling well and that he thinks he's going to die! When you tell him he's ok he'l will gently lower himself to the floor and say I'm Dying I'm Dying. We try not to give him any secondary gain from this behavior. But at the same time I have 17 high acuity psych patients who are very annoyed with him. I'm not sure what we are goining to do. I really think the doctor is just running out his medicare days something that really pisses me off.
Do you see a lot of this at your facility?
