Because he's verbally abusive, and the home is throwing him out. This is going to be the 3 time it has happened. At first I was out raged, I said this is what they are paid a lot of money for. They are supposed to know how to handle people like that. That was just unacceptable. He asked well what do you suppose they should do? I said they should put a bark collar on him, that'll shut him up. He busted out laughing, but then thought about it for a second like... "Hmm that just might work." What's wrong with drugging patients? Isn't that what Doctors do? They should have a hookah in the rec room.
