You can tell doctors ALL you want them to know. The doctor can't communicate with YOU.

Making the doctor aware of your concerns is a good first step to take.
How can your sister remove YOU from your mother's HIPPA?
It sounds like you, sis and Mom should sit down and have a talk. Since you are Moms' primary caregiver, you should, at least, be able to discuss her physical and mental problems with the medical staff. What if she had to go to ER and couldn't talk or is unconscious. Does your mother have a POA (power of attorney) written up for when she can't speak for herself? You would be the likely choice.
It sounds like you sister is trying to control the show. If that's the case, maybe SHE might like to be the primary c/g.
This is good to know since I just discovered my sister removed me from all of her doctors' HIPPA and even HIPPA on last ER visit. Can I do anything legally, as I am her primary caregiver?
