[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: Managed to get in touch with a friend of a friend who’s a retired psychiatrist. He believes he is experiencing a delirium which qualifies as an emergency, so wi might go back and ask for a crisis intervention. I called back to the ER, and they told to come back and get re-evaluated. Dad is not sleeping, tried to walk away with a yogurt in hand to give «Halloween candy» to the kids. [/quote] I agree with this. Hospitals are notoriously bad at diagnosing delirium and frequently chalk it up to mental illness in a young person or dementia (which does not come on like this, btw!) in an elderly person. Ask for a psych consult, mention the family friends concern about delirium, and they should get a professional translator. Sorry, op, it sounds very stressful I hope it goes ok. [/quote]
