While I was there, she accidentally knocked over one of her open bottles, spilling her juice on the table and the floor. The aide grabbed some paper napkins and tried to clean it up, but the drink left stains on the table and the floor. I pointed it out to the patient and it was a subject of education. I hope she paid attention. We can only always educate, but in the end, patients will always do what they want.
Have you ever met someone who doesn’t drink water? For me, it was my first. I know people dont like to drink water but they do so with the knowledge of the benefits of water. Please let me know in the comments if you know anyone like this patient. I would love to hear it.
Live free, healthy and happy.

Interesting! I have seen one back in my country Nigeria, a young guy from NY, came to visit her grandparents and refused drinking water. He only had sodas, they had to buy him crates of that, remember in Nigeria, the coke we have there is more concentrated. In short time he developed a kind of sickness whereby his urine was almost orange in color. I think he had hepatitis A, not too sure but I’m like 90% correct. He recovered from the illness and came back to the US. Now he is a real big boy. So I agree to your story . Some people in the western world do not drink water. On the contrary I drink enough water and mostly when I am not thirsty. I drink water to flush my system. I check my urine each time and make sure it is clear in color. Thanks! Shalom!
