Incompetent: Delores was described as incompetent in Winnebago County Court by employees of Northwestern Memmorial Hospital. They claimed Delores should be discharged under the control of a public guardian. Hospital records indicate that Delores was NOT incompetent.
“The most terrible, terrible things could happen to you under guardianship court. Your elderly parent could be removed from their home and put into a nursing home where they don't want to be, they could be drugged in that nursing home, sometimes unnecessarily. Their property could be seized," says Annie McKenna, Spokeswoman for the National Association to Stop Guardian Abuse.

Janet Bedin was a great guest on T.S. Radio. What Northwestern tried to do to her and her Mother was criminal.
I listened to the archive and Ms. Bedin was very articulate. I had tears in my eyes. What a terrible thing to have to deal with. I am so sorry, Ms. Bedin.
One can only ask if the purpose of the guardianship was to take away standing in the event of a malpractice lawsuit....
