[QUOTE="Lowland1, post: 6635467, member: 66524"] My father who is 80 had a heart attack in August whilst being operated on he stopped breathing and as such suffered from hypoxia as such he has been very confused since however rather than consulting with myself or anyone who knew him they labelled him as a dementia sufferer and decided he would be unfit to look after himself and issued a deprivation of liberty order on him. Whilst I am prepared to pay for fulltime care at home for him the State in the form of the NHS refuses to allow us to do this. So for the last three months he has been stuck in hospital, for two of these in short term cardiac care even though within a week or so he was fairly stable and physically fit and for the last month in a rehabilitation ward where little if any rehabilitation has been carried out. The last three months have been a totally miserable Kafkaesque nightmare where the State has complete control over an individual and can do what it feels is in the patients interests whilst in reality is only in their interest. My father wants to go home we want him to go home and will do whatever is neccessary to make him comfortable but we are fighting a system that has only it's own interests at heart. [/QUOTE]
