[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The sudden onset coupled with the fact that it hasn't diminished with the change in day/daylight is concerning.  You should have him reevaluated.  Would your regular doctor be able see him?[/quote]

We were given a list of psychiatrists and neurologists at the ER. None of them are able to see him tomorrow as the doctors have recommended. What am I suppose to do? [/quote]

Meant to add that only one of them have returned my call, and the one that did had told me that he has a months-long waitlist.[/quote]

I would take him to MY doctor and have my doctor try to open doors for me.  I don't understand why you haven't called your physician on this …  At the very least your physician can start a case file and get him in the system.  He can do a full run-up of bloodwork, etc and a mini physical.[/quote]

We did get all of the above in the ER.[/quote]

Right.  We all "get" that.  But you don't have anyone in charge.  Going to YOUR doctor would have someone in charge of his care.  I see you now have a rec from a psych friend.  That's good.  You should go back in but you STILL need someone to help you shepherd your dad through this process.  If you are pushed back out again then get him in to see your normal primary care physician and then push her/him re the delirium and crisis intervention.[/quote]
