Yes, when I was recently in the hospital I hated being treated like a child
too with the "do you understand what I'm saying dear" etc, also dh was
taking care of some paper work and one of the receptionists kept telling him
not to lose the paper, to take it to the pharmacy, she told him that several
times. Finally he said to her, I may be older but I'm not senile and I'm
sure I can make it to the pharmacy without losing the paper. LOL
