I agree. The POA states it needs to be my mothers physician. I imagine this means primare care. I also have the ability to admit her to a level one psych unit, whatever that means. So it looks like that the ER can admit for a couple days, and then her physician can admit her for a longer period of time.

It has recently occured to me that my mother actually has a MI. I need to start treating her that way. I have been seeing my mother going through stages, with some scary times thrown in. I still thought of comparing her to her former self where she is just being crazy. You know, blaming her, trying to reason with her, treating her as a child as of late since she has been acting very much like a two year old, there is just her and I, and I just have to deal with her everyday. But this is an actual MI. This needs to be taken very seriously instead of seeing her going through just another "stage". Perhaps then I can have more compassion for her. Perhaps I can be more sensative to her needs. Her depression needs to be taken very seriously, not for my sake, but hers.
