Antibiotics

Naturally Mom's infection is not gone.  Cami told me when I went to see Mom this morning.  So I got right on it.  Called and talked to someone who said she would put urgent on the request for advice.  I had commented on the last time taking five hours before I received a call and  by then we had went to urgent care.  The lady told me they have lunch from noon to one so not to expect anything until after that.  And if I had not gotten a call by 2:30 to call her back. 
1:15 the nurse from Mom's doctor called.  First she informs me there is no release of information so technically she cannot talk to me.  I say I am POA and that is in the file.  She agrees with me but tells me there is nowhere in the four pages that says I am the POA.  My name is not in there anywhere.  Methinks she is blind.  She said she even had another person look.  Okay.  We continue on though because I was with Mom for all of her appts thus far and for continuity of care.  She asked the right questions, agreed with my assessment and sent the info to a doctor to hopefully prescribe more antibiotics. 
Antibiotics were prescribed for the very first time without me having to take mom to a doctor appointment, an urgent care or the ER.  Other than the POA snafu it went the way it always should go.  It isn't like I'm trying to scam the pharmacy out of antibiotics.  If Mom needs them, she needs them.  And it becomes harder and harder to take her places.  She isn't happy and always wants to just leave.  Funny how every person I have ever taken to the doctor as a grown up wants that. 
Once I was home I got out the POA paperwork.  Yup four pages.  And my name is right on the first page.  Now I will need to go to Kaiser and make sure their copy says the same thing my copy does.  They have had it for five years and never have I been questioned about it before.
