Bringing this to light is doing a service for those without that star power. Friends of mine just put their mother in assisted living because her doctor was complaining about her forgetting appointments and questioning medication he was prescribing. There was no second opinion. None of the children attended doctor appointments with her. It is not my place to tell this family what they should be doing. There could be things about the situation that I don't know. But, from the outside looking in, it doesn't take much to take over someone's life. It has changed the way I look at my friends. Who ships their mother off on the word of one doctor?
