During a check-up, I asked my doctor, “How do you decide if someone’s ready for a long-term care home?”
He leaned in like he was about to reveal the secret to eternal youth and said, “We fill a bathtub to the brim. Then we hand the person a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket—and ask them to empty it.”
“Ah!” I nodded wisely. “So the right answer is the bucket—it holds way more than the spoon or the cup!”
He gave me that look—the one doctors reserve for patients who confidently Google their own symptoms—and said, “Nope. A normal person just pulls the plug.”
Then he added with a grin, “So… would you like your room near the window?”
