Alzheimer’s or Overmedicated?
Interesting article in CNN/Health about one family’s confusion over a parents illness. Seems that after finding their mother unsteady, confused, and with slurred speech, an Oklahoma family was informed by their local emergency department that their mother probably had Alzheimer’s or Pick’s Disease. Unhappy with the diagnosis and feeling something was not quite right, they got a second opinion from a specialized geriatrican who subsequently made a diagnosis of overmedication.
Have a read of the article Is Grandma Drugged? to learn more about overmedication and drug complications in the elderly.
