given medications to restrain her after the breathing man was in the necessary everything that was done was well tint but with older patient it causes harm sometimes so we have the treatment for each medical treatment but for older adults what is often not right for the whole patient it is easily to look at the whole person we saw the person needed to get moving we removed the gooblz when she identified she wouldn't walk next she was walking safely downstairs there are if you hospitals in these this country that would have happened like at the san francisco general hospital i
