Infection Dementia What Is More Frustrating Than Doctors Who Can Tell You NOTHING?

What is more frustrating than doctors who can tell you NOTHING? - infection dementia

My father-year-old is confused - sometimes clear all.He not in the hospital and the doctors run all kinds of tests 82 and had 2 days now.
I do not know why this is so happening.The CAT scan showed no acute stroke ... A MRI tomorrow.
It is trying to console aggitated and confused.I, and often do not want alone.This love.
Stroke? Dementia? Infection?
The not knowing is tearing me.
Please can someone give me some advice?
Thank you.

I regret that the doctors are not good communication with you. I am sure that you are busy, and they are frustrated because they have found what is the question.

Maybe if you may annoy the nurses to doctors (including youth team) to spend some time trying to receive and answer your questions - which could meet a little more.

Some questions are:

After 2 days of testing I am sure they have eliminated most of the usual suspects ...
They have a urine sample - Was there a urinary tract infection?
You have a chest x-ray - Was there a pneumonia?
They have a complete blood count - the number of white blood cells? (Leukocytes are cells that fight infection and a higher number of points to an infection or inflammation, but can be difficult because they can elderly, serious infections, but not to raise a good answer WBC)

During the review - are other places where they suspected might be an infection?
Tonsils
Heart (- is whathas a heart murmur, Splinter hemorrhages)
Joints
Bones (including the spine)
Brain

To see the MRI and see if you have a viral infection in the brain? What are you looking for?

They have a lumbar puncture (spinal tap)?

Do you think that the condition is not contagious?

I understand what you feel, I have a very painful "condition" I have lived for years, and doctors can do nothing about it. I would say that you stay positive and clinging to the hope that they will understand one day what will happen. Sorry, we do not advise, but there are really expect anything to keep a positive attitude and have some faith. Sorry for the confusion, what must happen, and I hope to find out what happens soon!

They have not been as sudden onset of symptoms. Years ago, my next-door neighbor had a stroke as you describe. Good luck, I hope everything goes well.

Their departure does not increase their knowledge of what happens in this forum. You have to rely on information from their doctors. I'm sure they will tell you what they know when they give specific information.

Doctors sometimes the people we should turn for knowledge, are so ignorant about the problems that we
not only us, but with a certain

Ive had so much experience of physicians throughout the city has no idea of the total number of different problems, I started looking around, and now I'll keep with the information they hold, and you say what
This is not my choice btw

Anyway, I'm sorry that your father is sick
Sounds like altzhimers or dementia, and as HES age of 82 is probably related
Although obvious, i dont know

You need to do is all the information you can find within itself, its cargo during its journey through this shit, but nobody can help you better than you
I expect the control of research information and knowledge society instead, they give me the best approach

obviously dont stop and documents and evidence, finally, the information and their combined information is the problem

We hope that after looking
