        Subscription wall. Too bad. If Gawande says it's important it's important. (Fortunately the headline says it all. Those in the fields -- healthcare, gerontology, etc -- already know it well.) More layman awareness is badly needed.

        Sad but so true. Speaking from experience, this puts even more pressure on family caregivers, who themselves are at loss on the right protocol and checklist to follow.

        We know dementia is accompanied by fears of memory loss. Unfamiliar environments easily upset older patients, but more severely with dementia--the room, the machines, a parade of new nurses, nothing is familiar. They feel lost...

        Have you heard of the Namaste Care programme? We did a small study in hospitals here in the UK http://apm.amegroups.com/article/view/15631/15676 …

        God yes. It was a nightmare taking my mom to hospital. No one listened to me until she was screaming in the hallway. Awful awful.

        Hospitals, sure. Look how poorly the White House is prepared for the same task.

        Hospitals aren't poorly prepared, the people that work in them are.

        I’d recommend having a look at @ktefoster fine work on @PennineAcuteNHS Oasis Unit for a look at how dementia patients can be better managed.
