I don't know how things work there.....but the one thing I can say is don't get belligerent with them......make sure you talk through the situation rationally & non-emotionally because they will just turn off their listening otherwise.

I would hope that they would have done some tests, but betting 40 miles away, his own pdoc wasn't involved in that hospital. I would never go to a hospital where my pdoc didn't have priviledges....they treament from the "who ever you get" pdoc is NEVER OK.

Had similar problems with a friend here we were all trying to help.....it was very sad.

Unfortunately I can understand why your mother called 911....that would be scary not knowing what or how long it would continue.

Wishing you the best with your brother. I would just follow the directions the advocate gave you & give them his number if they have a problem...tell them this is what he TOLD you to do
