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've definitely had a patient in her nineties call me "Mama," and so i went with it. She got a hug and tucked into bed. And you know what? It worked, and she got a few hours of sleep. That's a win in my book.
