When I was doing clinicals for phlebotomy I walked into a room to do a draw on an elderly lady and when she gave me her arm she had a number tattooed on her arm from the nazis. My knees got weak and I almost started crying. I just wanted to hug her. She was so little and frail and meek. And there was that profane thing on her arm.
Elderly people are awesome to talk to. They're like treasure chests of the past.
