WHERE in Hawaii? You will probably have to get her to the doctor yourself for a full evaluation. Try for a clinic associated with the medical school (especially if she’s on Oahu); one thing that worked for my mother was asking ER nurses to recommend a good internist or family doc (yes, you can walk into the ER without her and ER nurses have LOTS of opinions). On the outer islands, a church might be a good place to get a name or two.
