The most pressing issue in my mind. I went for a home visit today, and got the chance to mingle with the old folks in the home. The old men we were interacting with are suffering from schizophrenia. A mild form I suppose. All of them were pretty friendly, in a roundabout, non-verbal way. They looked fragile, which most of them were, but some mangaged to have a mischeivious twinkle in their eye. I was at a loss as to how to approach them, are you supposed to talk to them as an adult, or as a child?? Their mental capabilities, I have no clue. I have no indication as to their frame of mind to work with, I cannot respond to unresponsiveness. All the others shamed me; they were kind, and caring to them, and I stood aside, helpless. Am I human? I don't seem to be able to muster any kind nature of any sort....
;and the DODO has the final say.
