Yep! My dad was ultimately taken down by a Dr that declined to treat him for a UTI (of which he was susceptible thanks to spinal stenosis weakening his bladder muscles and necessitating use of a catheter to drain it) and then a nurse at a rehab facility that made the command decision to cancel an appointment with his Rehab Dr…whatever happened to “first, do no harm”?

So unnecessary and sad. I'm so sorry to hear that about your dad. Sometimes I think they just write off older people.
