I am beyond concerned about my psychiatrist. He never responded to me despite offering me an appointment yesterday afternoon. There was never a time set, which was quite strange. I left him a message on his vmx yesterday morning after not hearing back from him after replying to his email last Friday. I can only hope he was too busy preparing for his planned trip or dealing with more concerning patients. I hope he will respond in some way soon, though. My next scheduled appointment is August 5. I have to confess that if I don't hear from him in a few days, I will start looking at the obituaries.

My sister finally obtained past medical reports of my dad's. She wrote "It said diagnosis is Organic Brain Syndrome with dementia symptoms most likely caused by Dads past alcohol abuse. It says that it is progressive." We will still take him to a neurologist and psychiatrist for further evaluation/opinions. If the "alcohol abuse" remains as a likely cause, it may be difficult to get his Long Term Care insurance to ever pay anything. We're not sure how thorough the evaluation leading to that medical report was. Sis has appointments set, but will the assisted living let him out for them then (because of the pandemic)? That has been the problem for months. My dad is basically terrified to return home.
