I spent the morning accompaning patients to their commitment hearings. We are a full service hospital. Door to door service for the end of you CHOOSING your mental health treatment. Anyway, I spent the ride sitting next to a man with his pants half mast and his brain half addled. Picture Boomhauer from King of the Hill, minus the teeth, plus dementia and you get my morning companion. He was nice enough..just pleasantly go on and on and on. Payton Manning, memories of years in service, his lack of a criminal record. We were fast friends.
And even he opened the door for me. Refused to let me open it for him. REFUSED.
Chivalry is not dead...it's just dwelling in the dying.
