I agree. My cousin got her mother’s doctor to notify the DMV (Indiana) NOT to renew her mother’s driver’s license again - she was mid-80s, in the beginnings of dementia and had been in a number of accidents, fortunately, no one was hurt.

My aunt went to ANOTHER doctor who cleared her at the DMV and she was able to get her license back again.

When my Dad was in his early 80s he had,what was later diagnosed as,an early organic brain syndrome similar to Altzheimer's. I hadn't driven with him in a while by my aunts (his sisters) had reported to me that it was scary to drive with him.

I got his PCP to refer him to a clinic that evaluates a person's fitness to drive. He failed. His PCP then told him he was reporting the failure to the DMV. My Dad,usually a calm and non-combative guy,said "I'll sue" (I was there).

Understandably the doctor backed off so we knew that we had to step in. We finally convinced him to stop driving and we made sure that he always got to where he needed,or wanted,to go.

"My aunt (beginnings of dementia) went to ANOTHER doctor who cleared her at the DMV and she was able to get her license back again."

Then your saying she was able to understand enough to go too another doctor to stop her family from meddling in her life?
Sounds like your cousin over reacted and the doctor went along to avoid trouble. Much like they did with the injections.
