This is not my mom! Delirium Awareness PSA

An interdisciplinary committee at the Capital District Health Authority (CDHA) in Halifax, Nova Scotia initiated the "This Is Not My Mom" campaign in June 2012 to increase awareness among health professionals and families of people at risk of delirium.

The committee is comprised of members from the Centre for Health Care of the Elderly (CHCE), the Helping Elderly Adults Live Their Healthiest (HEALTH) Committee and Geriatric Medicine Research (GMR).

This is very sad, my 92 grandmother was in and out of hospital 10 times this year and I was told she had advanced dementia!!!!
It turned out to be an untreated UTI infection and wrong medications, this is exactly how she was!!!
Unfortunately, by the time the hospital started appropriate treatment for infection, she fell out of hospital bed causing bleeding on the brain!
She died a couple of weeks later
I can never forgive the NHS and our own GPs!
It seems that there not bothered when you reach a certain age

My mom had this after a procedure for a pancreatic procedure. It was awful, paranoid and confused. Thought people were hurting her in the hospital

My grandpa is going through this right now after staying for 24 hours in the ICU for kidney problems after an infection, it's heartbreaking to see how delirium can change someone.

Can delirium happen from a bad kidney infection?
