My aged mother's doctor renews prescriptions for her ill-health and takes her blood pressure.

That's the extent of his "practice".

I take care of her actual health, and ensure he doesn't make any more mistakes with the medications he has already prescribed, or "recommends".

He has overdosed her. Twice. Serious errors.

Other family members in charge didn't notice when I was out of town.

Ask no questions and don't research. Doctors are GODS. Infallible.

That's the situation, here in our over-medicated socialized medicine "covered" country.

God forbid if the elderly in Canada have no health CARE advocate.

They're hooped.
