But he almost died a couple times, and now he works with kids. Those things improved his mood significantly. The kids love him, and they have a much better prognosis for recovery.
i could def see that not being a good job for mental health
Right before he quit nursing home work there was a bad flu outbreak at the nursing home he was working at. 50% fatalities.
the company literally had greif counselors on site for the employees.
thats some black pilled shit
almost died how
A really bad heart attack, which he made a complete recovery from.
oh
i thought you meant patients tried to kill him
Folowed a couple years later by a MRSA infection in his lungs (he never smoked, but has the lungs of a chain smoking coal miner anyway)
zombies bro
zombies
((((the flu)))))
I mean before the infection he had bad lungs. They thought they were going to have to remove one of them at one point, but then they didn't need to.
Before he was even 55. But he's been good since then.
Though he looked like a walking corpse for my bro's wedding (six weeks after the heart attack)
Second scariest thing I've been though in my adult life.
for sure broham
seeing a love one suffer is bad
Yeah, but he made a remarkable recover. Doctors told him that if it wasn't in his chart they wouldn't believe he had a heart attack.
hell yea
Though on the topic of his work almost killing him. Because he works with folks who are one way or another, young or old, not all there mentally. It is not considered a good idea for men in his line of work to wear long sleves. or a tie.
oh?
Last story about his work. Back when he was in private practice I was working for him. (this was decades ago) This guy came in who would not stop talking about his experiences in Vietnam. He seemed to be mostly fine, but refrenced everything back to Vietnam.
lost my prostate in NAM
He was seeing my dad for a TBI related to falling off his roof.
So here's the thing.
too a vitvongo hooker
He was in his thirties (in the 90's).
This guy had never even BEEN to vietnam.
lolllllllllllllll
The only thing more amazing than the human brain is all the horrible things that can go wrong with it.
>tfw your also a 29 year old vietnam vets as well in 2018
At least he wasn't some stolen valor guy. He really thought he'd beenn in vietnam.
That would actually be a good supporting character for a movie/tv show.
so he was mentally ill or dissatisfaction
he thought he was a real vet
There's one younger guy comiserating with a bunch of Vietnam vets about their experiences. Someone pulls one of them aside and asks what's up with that one guy who's a good 30 years younger than everyone else, and obviously lying. The guys explains to him the guy isn't lying *per se* He genuinely believes he is a Vietnam Vet since a car accident.
holy shit thats epic
So they let him hang out. Especially since he then only one who's back/knees aren't messed up.
