Bobbi and Mike provide some helpful insights for the following caregiver's issue on today's episode of Tips, Truths, and Straight Talk:
"I'm in a bit of a dilemma, my mom, who has dementia, went into the hospital last week for internal bleeding. The hospital wants to discharge her, and I said no.

I work full time and now she can barely walk. Any advice? "
