      I am going to war. It will require much research of neuroscience. Social Services are failing my uncle coz he swears at their nurses &carers

      Frontal lobe damage. Psych nurse. 'I can't evaluate him if he swears at me.' Yes, you can. That's the symptom.The thing he didn't do before.

      I spent 17 years working with people with challenging behaviour due to brain damage. There needs to be people who will do that.

      These people should be compensated at a higher level. (I wasn't) You can't just say 'Our carers don't have to put up with that.'

      In the general scheme of thing, people shouldn't have to provide services to people who call them names & shout at them, no.

      But if your service is providing care for people with brain damage, consider teaching staff to tolerate odd or rude behaviour

      This was a big issue I saw when brain injured. I had huge problems getting decent care bc I cried a lot - it was a symptom of TBI

      People who showed up late to appointments (another common symptom) were kicked out of this program - the only public one available

      And it took place in a noisy, confusing place with fluorescent lights - tough for many with brain issues. I imagine swearing would be worse.

      I don't actually like him very much but I do care about his welfare & this is not his fault.
