an example....... My mother was given a dx of alzheimers so she could get in a better, private nursing home....... so what do they do in the nursing home..... Dope her up with meds that made her more or less a zombie..... Written on paper in black and white mother has alzheimers, She now is in a lock-up unit prob by now fitting in well with the other patients........ this sucks. It was the doc's and my sister and brother agreed to the dx.....

My mother was 83 when put in the nursing home... She has always been a "feisty" woman...... But now she is quiet as a mouse and less of a problem to anyone, including my brother and sister..... sooooooooooooooooo

I might mention again, the topic is unfair dx's...... I still think it is wrong to just write a dx for the sake of treatment or payment........ I like what gg said...... it is honest, and still gives room for future assessments and dx.....
