Hey everyone.
Dad's back in hospital with a mild case of pneumonia. Not ideal, but at least he's had his first vaccination jab! I am finding it all rather frustrating though.
On the phone today (you can only visit between 6 and 8, which is fair due to covid, but dad has no mental capacity so really should be allowed an advocate with him to speak with medical professionals) I was told I couldn't speak with a doctor as I wasn't next of kin. Never had this before. I argued that I was one of his attorneys for health and wellbeing and will be on his medical records. But I was still told no.
Anyway, what makes it even more odd is a doctor called me last night to discuss DNR and the pharmacist called me in the morning to discuss meds.But i couldnt speak with a doctor this afternoon to ask about SALT and delirium risk.... Odd.
