101

Met my first patient over 100 years yesterday!!

Grand old chap who just had a touch of pneumonia.

On gaining his history we asked him what medication he was on and he produced this small packet of pills and said he has recently had to start taking these for his blood pressure!!

That was it!! Fab

He also seemed to smile at everything, despite the obvious effort he had to put into breathing, I wonder if that had something to do with his longevity?

The only disappointment was as he was quite poorly with the pneumonia, we had to rush him in to hospital quickly and I did not get chance to see his telegram from the Queen.
