Over the past two years, I have taken pictures of Oscar the NH cat...
Well his story appeared in the NEW ENGLAND Journal of Medicine today!
A colleague wrote an essay about OSCAR and the fact that he hold vigils for
dying nursing home residents!
Low and behold, David article got accepted and they used my photograph of
Oscar!
Oscar behavior is really a reflection of the wonderful care that is provided to
NH residents of the 3rd floor dementia unit of Steere House in Providence RI.
I believe that he sees all the concern that the wonderful nursing home staff provide these
dying patients and he just wants to be part of the action.
Congrats to David, the thrid floor of Steere House, and our star of the day -- Oscar!
