[QUOTE="Fran, post: 228856, member: 3"] His thinking is distorted. I doubt anything can help that at this point. I understand his anger at not being diagnosed the first time but the fact that several doctors missed it means that it was probably not a clear case. They are scientists and not infalliable. If he wanted to tape info, telling the person's in the room ahead of time would alleviate any suspicions. I agree that women and elderly tend to be dismissed in their concerns. I'm sure there are enough reasons on both sides to find fault. Patients lie, omit information and forget stuff. I have seen it and I certainly omit what I don't think is relevant. Doctors have a hard time saying "I'm sorry. I missed it or I was wrong". Lots of opportunity for mistakes. Keeping everyone safe including dad is your first priority. Fixing his personality disorder or punishing him for his distorted thinking isn't something you can do. [/QUOTE]
