[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I noticed that as my father aged, medical staff was more often disregarding his symptoms or input. I was his advocate, but it depressed me to think of all the seniors who don't have someone looking out for them or speaking up for their needs.[/quote] Perhaps because there comes a point in a persons life that there isn’t really a benefit to treating something. Or doing the most aggressive treatment. [/quote] PP with Parkinsons dad here. I do agree, but on the flip side-I also found that some providers did disregard symptoms. One rehab he was briefly at, totally disregarded his symptoms of a UTI, despite Mom and I saying, this is not his normal and not his parkinsons. I ended up leaving work and calling 911 to have him removed and hospitalized (it was a UTI). I agree with PP that the elderly do need an advocate for them. [/quote]
