Mom and dad are (were) on Kaiser and even thou they were there weekly for this and that they only saw the doctors for a few minutes and it never occurred to the doctors that dad was driving them there or to test him for dementia.

Long story short, when my folks were in a car accident several years ago, my step-dad suffered a subdural hematoma and i accompanied him to the doctor for a checkup a few days after the accident but before it had been diagnosed. At that time, I asked the doctor to recommend my step-dad stay home and not try to visit my Mom every day (she was in a nursing home with a neck brace recovering from the accident). The friggin' doctor acted like he couldn't do anything to help me. So no, I won't be going to any doctors for help. BTDT....
There are other methods/avenues/options....but thanks for the reply, Scott.
