My Dad is a retired surgeon with AD. If he is not in a medical facility at least once a week he finds reasons to go. I'm having a stroke/ heart attack/ haven't had a bowel movement in a week/ have suddenly gone blind, etc. etc. The problem is, some of these are life threatening, so the caregiver packs him up, puts him in the care, and takes him to the ER where he is a happy man. Any ideas on how to head off this behaviour? He has had so many xrays, MRIs, echo cargiograms and so on that he is starting to glow in the dark, and the caregiver is exhausted. Thanks
