Unprofessional or am I just overly sensitive?
I've been lurking mostly for a couple of months. We (my sister and I) got my mom's(74) diagnosis in March. We've been seeing the decline and would mention it to her (mostly my sister, who lives next door)and she would be IRATE. I'd try to smooth it over by saying it's normal to "slip" some as we age. ANGRY tirade to follow. My mom has always been super independent. Anyway, mom's neuro did an MRI and a blood test (as well as a family history- her grandmother, aunt and now first cousin (75) is also traversing this path) to determine that yes, she indeed has ALZ. Monday, was mom's 6 month follow up with her primary care doc. This man sat there and said "that blood test is new so I don't really trust it. And your quick checks looked really good." - I HAD to mention genetics. And a look over at my sister and I and he tried to back peddle what he'd said. I was LIVID. I'm I overly sensitive or was that unprofessional?
