Hubby and I are in Philly now. I received a text from my brother saying that he dropped our dad off at the ER again. Nowadays, he just drops him off and goes to work. That may seem harsh, but otherwise my dad would likely change his mind quickly and demand to go home.

When I saw my pdoc yesterday, he said it might be good for my dad to get an MRI. I know that seems strange having my pdoc make recommendations, but frankly, I think my pdoc gets more detailed info about dad than my dad or brother gives the doctors. I'm never part of that. My dad usually refuses to let us talk to the doctors, especially the psychiatrists and psych nurse practitioners. The fact is, sometimes a patient doesn't see the whole picture, or is in denial about it or wants to withhold info.
