We had a patient who was homeless; he was extremely un-kept and unclean. He had refused blood draws or any other care. Martha worked on a Saturday and was not only able to draw labs, but was able to give the patient a bath and a shave. After bathing, the patient discovered that his clothes smelled and began throwing his clothes away; this left him without clothes. Martha called her husband and had him to bring the patient fresh pants, shirt and a belt.
