Alzheimer's patients are sometimes very combative. This man could have overpowered her without punching her in the face.
PEOPLE are sometimes combative when they are FORCED into places they should never have been. Strong people fight back BAD. I am now wondering how many "combative" people are in abusive guardianships". And never mind, those drugs that can change the chemicals in the brain. We need to RETHINK who does this benefit? FORCING people , drugging them ?
