Q: . My father’s memory has gotten a lot worse over the past year, but he doesn’t seem to be aware of it. When I visited him recently, I saw what looked like some bad sores on his legs. He told me that he’d gone to the doctor recently and that everything was fine. Would it be wrong for me to call his doctor to find out for sure?

My father’s memory has gotten a lot worse over the past year, but he doesn’t seem to be aware of it. When I visited him recently, I saw what looked like some bad sores on his legs. He told me that he’d gone to the doctor recently and that everything was fine. Would it be wrong for me to call his doctor to find out for sure?

There’s nothing wrong with calling his doctor. Doctors often get valuable information and insight from loved ones. Family members of my patients have frequently told me about things that the patients never mentioned. These are things I often need to know as the person’s doctor.
