...that masturbation is a sin: he and his girlfriend are also participants in a chastity group on campus. He must do a lot of laundry.

"When elderly patients go to the emergency room, doctors are very uncomfortable about sending them home" right away, says Dr. Joseph W. Spooner of Care Level Management in Woodland Hills, Calif. "So they admit them, and patients stay three or four days." Then the sons and daughters are called in to quickly figure out what to do next...
