Asking for My Dad
This is for my dad . He is a 6 ft 200lb-ish 71 male. Always been healthy except for mild high blood pressure. Generally active and doesn’t carry excessive body weight. A few years ago he started having troubles remembering certain words on top of a growing sleep problem. My parents went to their PCP who said the spoken communication problem was related to sleep deprivation. Recently he developed written communication issues issues toI so they go an mri. It revealed a 6.1 cm brain tumor.
Now my dad is a baby when it comes to doctors and his doctor (who used to be my doctor) is a bit of a pushover. He doesn’t push for anything and if patients think it’s something he just follows their lead. I don’t have a lot of experience with doctors but I feel like that’s not normal.
So my question is, was how his doctor reacted normal or was this preventable?
