I'm working with a GP to get my mom into a neurologist. She wanted the records from the mental health group that has been seeing my mom. I went by to request the records, and they told me it would be 7-10 business days. I sweet talked (and cried) a bit and they were able to get them out in less than 24 hours. The reason I was in a hurry, is because the GP could get mom a neuro appointment THIS WEEK (ie before her medicaid is revoked) if I could get her medical records quickly.
I went to pick them up and I made a copy for our files and took a copy to the GP. I didnt get a chance to read them myself until tonight.
I knew about 95% of the stuff b/c I have been to all the visits. They had a psychometrist give mom some cognitive tests, and they had her go back alone for that. This the part that I just read, that was really hard for me.
"Patient was not oriented to time, place or situation. She was unable to provide any of her personal information, including how many children she had or the names of her children. She was unable to recall her maiden name. She started blankly at the examiner when asked questions."
I knew it was bad, but I didnt realize she didnt even know me unless I'm with her.
I'm pretty upset by this...
