Getting Mom to the doctor(2)

BethMimi

Mom has an appointment with a doctor soon.  Problem:  She does not want to leave the house and screams and fights.  She screams and fights when I get her to change her top so I can only imagine how this is going to pan out.  When I say fight  I mean like a tiger.  I'm sure many of have similar situations.  

Any suggestions to stream line this experience?  She has trouble walking so I am going to borrow a wheel chair.  

Thanks in advance for everyone's input and support.

Many physicians now offer virtual visits.  Might be worthwhile to call her physician’s office to see if this is an option.  The virtual visit may need to be combined with a prior in-home visit by a home health nurse.  The nurse can draw labs and check vitals, and get that information into your Mother’s chart so it will be there and ready for the virtual visit with the doctor.
