American hospitals don't treat the elderly with much regard for their lifetime of experience, but with a few simple tips that I learned from this I was able to guide my dad's care team to treat him with greater dignity and respect. And. I learned some invaluable information about his experience that helped me to become more empathetic and loving. This should be required reading for everyone from family members to caregivers to medical professionals.
