don't know if you're asking if that's me, but it's not. i posted on here about a month ago, and that was before i started working night shift. my perspective has really changed since then.

I bet you think the residents are temporary.

why didn't you ask them about it?

Hospital spooks thread? These are usually interesting.

A few of my family members work in the medical field (Nurses, Paramedics etc.) have experienced the same thing when a patient of theirs is coming to the end. Is it the Grim Reaper? Could be

The "palliative cocktail" (morphine, lorazepam, halperidol) has nothing to do with it.

Are any of those hallucinogens, though?

My dad is in a physical rehab place right now and he texted me at 4am saying 'I swear I just saw a ghost' and then he wouldn't talk to me about it today when I called to see if he needed anything brought down.

>actively dying
What the fuck is passively dying?

>>17730734
everyday after the age of 32 or so. your body starts having more cells die than are replaced. passively dying is being alive.
