This could have been a case of polymedication, but I doubt it since it is an 82-year-old woman. I'm not sure if they are antibiotics, but benzodiazepines and anticholinergic drugs can cause amnesia. Or, it is a possibility her primary care doctor gave her the wrong dosage of the antibiotics, causing side effects, one of them possibly being amnesia.

The oncologist should before taking any step should consider that the patient has access to palliative options and it should be maintained that they have adequate counseling. PDA is becoming legal in the United States of America.
