I feel that my dad is not getting enough attention. They allowed him to go go a doctors appointment without my knowledge and since then all he wants to do is sleep. When speaking to him, he almost sounds drugged up or drunk; you have a hard time understanding him. He did NOT go into this facility this way. Any ideas??
Are you his medical PoA or medical representative? Has he had a diagnosis of cognitive impairment by a doctor so that the medical PoA is now in force? If not, then this is probably the reason why he is going on his own to appointments and you are not being informed.
He could be having slurred speech due to some other medical/health incident such as overmedication, not taking prescribed medication, a stroke, etc. Your best pathway forward to help him is to find out who has the legal authority to accompany him to appointments and discuss his private medical information with his doctors, and making decisions in his best interest.
Can you tell me why Dad is getting shots of cortisone?
