My great concern about this practice is that myself & another stranger, asked a doctor to pay a visit to one of their patients who was living on their own in the countryside. This person could not cook or keep their only source of heat, a wood stove, working. They refused and requested the patient to come to them. This patient was at the time suffering from Hyperthermia and later diagnosed with the onset of Alzheimer's disease. This person needed help and as a doctor has so much authority to bring in welfare, which they refused, we had to go to the Police to raise an Adult Protection Order. This person was at the time suffering from Hyperthermia and Malnutrition and would have died if this had not been done. The night time temperature at that time Dec 12 was around -5 to -6C!!! Worse still I asked my on doctor what was the practices policy about such matters. This doctor said I should not have even gone to the POLICE!!! If that had not been done the person would have surely died!!! THE POLICY NEEDS TO BE CHANGED!!!!
