My mom wants to call 911 all the time. Especially since the doctor dismissed her as a patient.

My Aunt had pretty severe dementia when she started continually calling 911 for one bogus reason or another. After a while, her phone had to be disconnected to prevent her from making such calls. Sounds like it's time to find your mom a new doctor, I guess. Why did the first one dismiss her? Is she a hypochondriac? What sort of help is she seeking from EMTs?

What's her complaint when she calls 911? How many times have they transported her? Is there a transport charge? Has the EMT organization threatened to stop answering her calls?

When my father with vascular dementia started having panic attacks, he would call 911 and tell them he was having a heart attack. They transported him to the ER several times where they never found anything wrong with him except high blood pressure from not taking his medications. Finally the EMT wrote a letter informing him they would not be transporting him on future calls if they felt he was not in any immediate medical danger. His geriatric psychiatrist realized he was having panic attacks and prescribed medication to prevent the attacks; didn't work all that well because Dad wouldn't take it until he was actually having a panic attack. This pattern of behavior can be dangerous. When Dad actually had a heart attack a few years later, EMTs almost didn't transport him.

Your mother is only 62. You say she's been "dismissed" by her doctor - why? And that you have been caring for her on your own for six years, since you were in your mid-twenties; and that you have her durable power of attorney.

All in all, isn't this a bit much for one person to try to handle alone? Do you have any professional support with your mother's health care at all? Would you mind sharing with us what has been happening?

Sometimes older people do this b/c they enjoy the attention, especially of attractive young male medics.     EMS staff are highly trained and know how to interact with people, including older people, who sometimes call just for that social interaction.

I agree that more information would help, especially why one doctor apparently refused to treat her, or was it that the doctor didn't feel she needed his/her type of treatment?

You don’t give a lot of information here. Can you fill in the blanks for us please?

What exactly are your mother’s medical issues?

So sorry that you are struggling. Hugs!
