The reason for that comment is, they want to know what he wants ( Living will)
I've been ask that question several times in the last year, while at the hospital.
My father has a list of medical problems complicated by two strokes in the last year.
While I wasn't there, I feel sure that is what the Dr, wanted to know.
Not trying to debate.
Since you are from Westmoreland Co. (me too) You have probably dealt with the same hospitals as me.
Some Doctors are just real jerks and lack sympathy when they ask questions.
i share same here on your dad.my dad is very sick too at 95 but he keeps surprising me.he wants to see TOBY at hospital but its hard to bring dog in with all patients in hall etc.
our nursing homes are in trouble.
did you know that doctor can only see your dad/mom 1 time a month in nursing home
did you know it takes 2 days to get a pill ordered and delivered from a pharmacy that nursing home deals with
cost for nursing home now is 6000/9,000 a month and that is great service you will get for 6000/9,000 a month.no insurance covers it unless you have LTC insurance which most cant afford.
i am well experienced in this ,if you need any ADVISE ,drop me pm.
hope your dad is doing better, sproul
