What’s a little white lie you tell the completely confused patient?

I’m always telling the cirrhosis dude his truck is in the shop. Then I tell him his buddy dared him to “shoot” his lactulose and give him a sprite chaser.

I never reorient them. I do the same thing. Direct their confused story in the direction you want it to go. “I need to go to the grocery store!” “Big winter storm and the roads are closed. We’ll try again tomorrow”
