오늘도 교재 대신 이야기를 나눴다. 다시 듣는데 정말 처참하구나...

말할 때 문법이 엉망이다. 말할 때는 전혀 생각도 안 하고 말을 하는 거다 아직도. 자연스럽게 아직도 나오지 않는 거지. 인칭에 맞는 동사들이... 어쩜 이렇지...

신경 쓰면서 좀 해야지 큰일이다. 🤦‍♀️

They have the main disease and they also have dementia. night dementia symptom is more severe than day time. They couldn't control themselves. one of my patients, he couldn't sleep, every minute he just talking and say something. so other patient(another patient) couldn't sleep well. another patients had complained "he make(makes) noise, we couldn't sleep well!!". and He also have(has) some injection fluid, but he removed all of the catheter.

I already have a lot of experience, but usually, when they got some medicine, they have an effect after a few minutes or few hours fall asleep. but it this case doesn't have any effect (T: you mean the medicine has no effect) and also his daughter doesn't cannot control him. everything is not good that time.
