This is not my story, but it deserves to be told.
One of my nurses, back when she was a young nurse, worked in a dementia unit somewhere.
For reasons that are unclear, the unit had an open nurses station, which means there is not a locked door between the nurses and the patients.
So anyway, this young nurse is also a young mother. She had just started back to work after giving birth, and had to pump her breast milk several times a day. She put it in a container and put that container into the refrigerator.
Well, one day, she sees one of the demented old ladies walking down the hall with her special tupperware container. And a milk mustache.
She lost it. Put her right over the edge into post partum depression. Her nurse manager had to send her home.
