Family Advocate of Aging Parent
• 19 January 2025Upon meeting Dr. Lee, as the advocate for my elderly mother (91), I saw she did not address my mother at the very beginning of her visit. No greeting, smile, acknowledgement of mom. She was on weekend call, had not met my mother or family member(s), and showed no interest in mom’s condition with us nor ask if we had any questions. Rather, I had questions…, she was very hurried, condescending and was not interested in learning more about mom and her new concern (our concern) today. My opinion was she was not interested in viewing mom’s ears and why she is so hard of hearing. As I suspected, mom had hard wax in her ears. The doctor said that the instrument was not in this (ENT) department, however, found one in less than 5 minutes when we mentioned that sounds silly, it is the ENT department. Obviously uninformed or interested to check. Assumption. She must have spoken with a nurse. My mom has lived with me for 9+ years. She indignantly referred to me living with mom. I didn’t comment on that. Why. Our geriatric doctor would be seeing mom the next day but she proceeded to be the expert in funding for private services to our local income family. If mom requires extra care, that’s not why she was there, she was there to speak with my mother, rather, it looked like she needed to pop in for a PR moment. Witness to the discussion felt the same. We were not important to this doctor. My mother was not important to this doctor. The lack of interpersonal skills with my mother and family were evident.
