You cut out why I answered the way I did.

I cared for my Father for 17 'years', and went
through the same stuff multiple times.

Once, drugs, too-casually prescribed almost
quickly-killed my Father. I had to carry him
into his HMO in my arms, nearly-unconscious.

In another case, the interactions were much
more slowly acting, but just as dangerous.
When his Doctor would take no action [tell-
ing me that, "He's just old."] My Father and I
talked it over and worked it out, discontinuing
certain of his meds, until he recovered. And
he recovered robustly.

Another time, he was hospitalized while I
was apart from him.

I arrived at the 'hospital' to find him in a
fetal position, near Death, and no one
on his staff even gave a damn.

"He has congestive heart failure."

They were just going to let him Die.

I got that sorted-out real-quick, and did
what I could to make sure it'd =stay=
sorted-out.

I clearly stated that the Patient should
was in the best place - the Hospital. Then
I gave the OP the benefit of my own
experience - from what worked for 17
'years'.

Medicine is what folks Expect that it Be.

I Expect it to Be in-Compliance with the
Hippocratic Oath.

I stand on what =I've= posted.

[Observing that there's a =lot= of your
sort of 'rewriting' of what it is that I've
posted going-on these 'days'. Which is
'hilarious'.]
