My Dad is currently in a geriatric ward in hospital. He has Alzheimers and Lewy Body. He was sectioned 8 weeks ago, but that has lapsed because the psychiatric hospital decided it was illness causing him to be delirious (he had a UTI, plus he got Covid and possibly had a TIA). Now the hospital he is in is calling for a psych evaluation because his behaviour has suddenly deteriorated again - he's grabbing his groin and saying ouch, stopped being able to talk, stopped being able to feed himself, his anger and violence is scary, and he's back to being incontinent as he was when he had the UTI (he wasn't before this). The ward is freezing cold and he doesn't have a temperature but our concerns that he has another UTI seem to be falling on deaf ears and we can't face the thought of him being sectioned again because he lost 3 stones in weight in the 6 weeks between being sectioned and 'successful' treatment of his previous UTI. Does anyone have any advice how we persuade the doctors to investigate him for a UTI (no chance of him peeing in a bottle), or how we can stop him getting sectioned again and sent to the awful place he was sent to last time.
