Im thirsty. Please make me something to eat. Can you get me a drink of water? I need a straw. I will need a spoon. Can I have a knife. I need a fork, please. I cant eat this. This tastes terrible! I LOVE it!!! I HATE it!!! The worst is finally over. I will get better. Sorry Im so slow. Please have patience with me. Hurry up!!!! Can you make me a doctors appointment? I need to see my doctor ASAP. Im in alot of pain, please call the doctor. Ask if there are cancellations. The doctor always will fit me in. Dont take NO for an answer. You have to be more assertive. WHAT THE HECK!!!! GGGGRRRRR!!!!! Im soooo angry! Boy, that makes me mad! Why not? Please tell me about it. What time is it? What day of the week is it? What do you think? What would you do? What would you recommend? I dont understand, what does that mean? What it that? What happened? What did they say? Whats the weather like today? How about tomorrow? Whats wrong? Its hot in here. Im cold. When are you going? Where is it? Will you be back soon? Where were you? What were you doing? Are you feeling ok? You dont look good, everything ok? I didnt sleep last night. Did you sleep last night? Please remind me. I forget. I wont remember. Did you eat? When can I eat? Can I eat when I take that medicine? Am I allowed to take the different medicines at the same time? Are there any interactions with these medicines? Ask the nurse. Ask the pharmacist. Call and ask the pharmacist. Call and ask the doctor. Please check with the doctor. Im still waiting for the test results, please call and ask. I cant hear you. I dont care. Im not doing that. I said NO! I dont want to. Please dont make me do that. I dont like it. I want more. Can you get me more? That hurts!!!! My head hurts. I have a headache. My neck hurts. My tongue really hurts. The pain is worse today. I feel a little better today. List all the numbers by themselves between 1 and 10 (patients are asked to rate their pain on a 1 - 10 scale so having each number to play would be a good idea) I need my sheets changed. I made a mess. I need a bath. I need a shower. I need my hair washed. I want to brush my teeth. Can I have my hairbrush? I want to fix my hair. Can I have a comb? Ive been waiting. Im tired of waiting. Its taking too long. It doesnt work. Please fix it. I need the remote. Please turn the radio on. Can I listen to the radio? Can I watch tv? I love this show. I hate that show. I dont want to watch that. I want to sleep. Im so tired but cant sleep. Can I get something to help me sleep? Please leave me alone. I want to be left alone for a while. I want to be by myself. I need some time alone. I need to go home. I appreciate everything you have done. I refuse!!! No way!!! Yes, please!!! I trust you. I know you will do whats best for me. I wont let you. I need help. I dont understand. I understand. What do you mean? Please explain it more clearly. Its hard for me to understand everything right now. My memory isnt every good. Please excuse me, Im not feeling well. It wasnt me. I didnt do it. I dont know. Why? What? Who? Where? When? Right here. This hurts. I need pain meds. I need more pain meds. The pain meds arent working for me. It still hurts alot. Is there a different pain medicine I can take that will work better? I cant hear you. You are talking too low. Please speak up so I can hear you. I need my hearing aid. Where is my hearing aid? My hearing aid isnt working. Can you write it down? I wont remember. Did you see this? Can you tell the doctor? Can you tell the nurse? Look at this! Curse words and other expletives individually like CRAP! SHIT! OH SHIT! DAMN IT!, etc....
