My dad has secondary bone cancer- which his GP thought was a torn muscle rather than the pathological hip fracture it turned out to be.The pain prevented him sleeping, and he began to lose his mind. He was hospitalised in August as he had tried to drive to my sister's house at 6:63 am but couldn't remember how to drive and had locked himself out of the house. Now he thinks he is a cyborg and my sister is a fly, another patient is a carrot and he is alternately agitated and depressed. The ward doctor...

Advised him had infection/high fever and started him on antibiotics intravenously (plus cancer specialist subsequently asked for...

I have him The Look and said 'yes and I'm glad I came to see you when I did and asked for the referral and once I'd been to hospital things moved very quickly...' and decided I'd leave it at that as he was trying very hard to be helpful and offer support etc...... I told him about...

Doctor Munro our G.P. visited today at 12 wasn't expecting her until 3.30pm,Mo had an appointment at the surgery but it would of been too much for her hence the home visit.Dr Munro was pleased Mo was talking better after her last visit to the surgery on 7th September and suggested Mo try the Day therapy at St Michaels Hospice.I thought she wasn't mobile enough yet but Dr Munro seems to think it would be ok and that it would be good for both of us and Mo's mobility not a problem (??).I also mentioned...
