I've tried explaining to my mother the importance of my father getting a customized PWC. For his future needs, comfort, etc. and that Medicare only pays once so it's important we get the right thing.
She went to the doctor yesterday to have a note signed for the order and they faxed it to the medical supply company to get a standard, off the shelf power chair. She said that the office staff told her that me and my brother can't say what he needs. This guy is primary care doctor, not treating him for ALS.
I don't know what to do anymore. I was trying to help ensure they did things the right way to avoid financial burden in the future but she trusts this doctor's opinion on everything. I guess this just a vent at this point. I don't even know what to think about how this could turn out.
