Now onto Margaret Smith,
she's a 68-year-old woman who was brought into ED two days ago by her son, Geoff.
Margaret was diagnosed 4 years ago with Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration
and has progressively deteriorated in that time.
She also has hypertension and depression.
Her GP recently started her on antidepressant medication.
She lives at home with her son, who is her sole full time carer,
but nursing staff have been unable to contact him since her admission to hospital.
Margaret has shown changes in her social behavior recently.
She has been declining food at home, and on the ward the nurses have reported she is holding food in her mouth.
She is refusing to take medication.
She's been very agitated on the ward.
And she's been yelling out when nursing staff try to assist her
and she's been confused and physically aggressive on occasion.
She's also calling out regularly for her son.
