<span class="ev_code_red">Old folks Bathtub Test</span>


During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, "How do you determine whether or not an old person should be put in a nursing home?"

"Well," he said, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the old person and ask him or her to empty the bathtub"

"Oh, I understand," I said.. "A normal person would use the bucket because it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup."

"No" he said. "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"

ARE YOU GOING TO PASS THIS ON, OR DO YOU WANT THE BED NEXT TO MINE?
