[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] Sure, but that decision should be made after a diagnosis, not at the bedside seconds after the patient complained about a new symptom. Some procedures are relatively cheap for the payoff in quality of life, cataract surgery, hip replacement. If they have cancer, they should be referred to hospice, not blown off until it is stage 4 and cant be ignored anymore [/quote]
