An elderly lady, pitifully frail, is seated in an armchair in the lounge of a care home, dozing fitfully.
Now just a little over six stone, she is a pale shadow of the vibrant woman she once was. What is going on inside her mind?
Is she lost in a dream of happier times, when she was young and full of life with an adored husband and young son - long ago days when it seemed impossible she would become old?
Or has this 85-year-old woman been doped up by the staff to keep her quiet, to make their lives easy - trapped in a perpetual state of confusion, destined to spend her final days in this twilight world of half-consciousness?
When her son makes his weekly visit to his mother, he suspects the latter.
"She's always asleep," he says, "so I gently ask her a few questions and she gradually comes round. It's so distressing to see how she has deteriorated since she's been in the home.
"She has dropped from 11 stone to six in less than two years.
"I am very worried that she is being given medication to keep her quiet, to make life easy for the staff.
"The staff are mostly young, untrained women under 20 who have no interest whatsoever in taking care of my mother or the other people in there.
"They just sit gossiping in the corner of the room. One of them spends all her time admiring herself in the mirror."
The lady's son, whom we shall call Michael, has very real fears for his mother and so does not wish her to be identified.
