I really do feel for them.
But where does privacy come in here.

If one has been a patient for a long time, and the health providers have never felt they needed to consult the children about anything (Seniors are truly independent about their medical care imho.)

I think we had read in a previous article he was upset in the hospital (am I right about this???) and wanted to leave?
What WOULD be protoc ol.

I jope some of our great healthcare professionals pipe in here.
