Sadly the same scenario occurs with the older folks with memory problems. Multiple calls from various offspring about the patient's condition after an office visit, rather than speaking to the caregiver who was present. A distant son or daughter will want records, we suspect over a battle over control of assets. I have had to tell the entire squabbling family that they were interfering with my care of the patient, and I was heading for the exit, they can take Mom or Pops elsewhere. That usually works, for a while at least.
