[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 573528, member: 3419"] Yikes!!!!! Yes, one thing I've discovered through the yrs, and with-various family members, is that different sections of the hospital deal with-different treatments, to the total exclusion of certain treatments. When my dad was in the hospital for a broken hip, his Alzheimer's was totally ignored and the nurses and dr just tied him down. When you're in the psychiatric hospital and you fall, you don't get xrays. No health care "system" will help this; it is pure common sense and unfortunately, fewer and fewer people seem to have it, not to mention sympathy. I am so glad that you got through to your parents and that you and difficult child can help. I agree, that the orgs named above can help. Also, the Am Cancer Society has volunteers in almost every area and you can call and ask for certain things, such as electric beds, wheelchairs, etc., and they will be delivered for free by a volunteer. GOOD LUCK!!!! Many hugs for all of you. [/QUOTE]
