power level: ive been an RN and CSW now for 30 odd years, and regarding Barb, she's a tough one to figure out. ive had doubts about her having dementia, even though she presents with a mix of that and Parkinsons disease.
in the UK in her situation she would be kept in a long stay ward, until an Adult Without incapacity form would have to be signed by two doctors specialising in elder care, then social work dept would be assigned Guardianship, which they would have to 1) have control over her medical needs. 2) financial guardianship.
this would be as she has no other family, willing to do so. this is a long laborious procedure, and in NHS terms would be a bed blocker.
most patients during this, can pass away, because of being even being away from a home they have spent most of their lives in, before being moved on to a care home.
I mean im no doubting the chap who went to the house. if they have discharged her home, imo she must be competent. I don't know what services are like in the US, for supporting care at home. but to me it suggests that she is competent, and can refuse any more medical care.
ach i dunno, but I don't understand in my theory, if she didn't consent, why aren't they're been rape charges yet.
I may have missed that, im trying to keep up.this is the first time ive discussed this coz Chris is just a disgusting cumsock that's not sentient anymore, lol
