Unless your father gives permission for medical staff to tell you anything regarding his medical condition, the doctors & nurses should not be telling you anything. IMO, as a courtesy, they might be providing you minimal info.

also my father said he would be puy on life support if needed, i just want to make sure she cannot take him off.
Does dad have an Advance Heath Care Directive? As long as he can competently convey medical decisions, he can do so.
thank you
You're welcome.
