Nurse (RN/BSN) Sally Patterson, of Eastern Maine Homecare, checks the blood pressure of Christine McDonald, age 55, who lives in Carmel, Maine. Nurse Patterson does home visits in Bangor, Maine and the surrounding communities as part of the Christine McDonald, a salty former nursing home assistant who shares an apartment in an old farmhouse with a roommate and her dog Brandy, a chihuahua-terrier mix who eyed Patterson warily. McDonald, 57, suffers from diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and severe depression, exacerbated by the death of her son over the summer. She is on eight medications as well as insulin. Until recently, she was also a frequent visitor to the local hospital. “Sometimes I need a kick in the rear,” McDonald said. “But Sally’s got my back. … I can talk to her. I like that.” (Photo by Carolyn Cole/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images)
