My Father In Law almost saw the light
My father in law came home last Friday from a 3 week stay in a local Hospital. He is one of those that think that doctors will kill him, surgeons will open his belly and cut what it’s not to cut (Gregory House M.D. style), well he is a difficult men.
The fear of doctors made him arrive at the hospital in serious conditions:
- severe Pneumonia
- high level of diabetes
- two stomach ulcers
- anemia
- cardiac arrhythmias
- high cholesterol values
- kidney infection
the doctors told him that he could have died if he didn’t arrive at the hospital that day.
He is now at home following a specific diet for his case, he is getting shots of insulin, he is doing a cholesterol treatment, antibiotics and he has to return next month to remove one stomach ulcer (the other was removed during the time he was in hospital).
He gave up smoking the moment he entered the hospital, he is forbidden of smoking or his lungs can fail, and he has to eat exactly what doctors tell him otherwise he can get worse again.
A annual check up wouldn’t do him any harm…but…he thinks he knows everything.
