most patients i work with are seniors and i had a patient the other day say "this is my first time in the hospital!" despite being like 70-80 something, and every time a patient says something like that it sorta knocks me on my ass. like it's unfathomable to me

#seeing that one poll going around about the first time you were admitted to a hospital #ans seeing nearly 30% of you guys have just never been admitted??? wild. what's that like #and honestly probably more because i know some people count an er visit as 'being admitted' (those are not the same thing)#a family friend broke his leg really horribly and i saw him a few months ago #and he as also like 'oh yeah i'd never been in the hospital at all before this! even for an er visit! i'd never had an IV!'#it's just mind boggling to me tbh
