I wholly agree, I worked with EMI patients and we all did our share of the more unsavoury jobs but it gives you a lot of satisfaction to care for an old patient as you would wish your family to be cared for. It was more than made up for by the pleasure you had when they had their lucid moments and went to give you a hug or thanked you for something you'd done for them. Its all character building, perhaps if you had a different attitude your work mates might be nicer, a lot of it is how you handle people.
