He has Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) He sleeps day and night but is more wakeful between 5-10 pm. He also hallucinates... Thinking he sees people or hears people. He was diagnosed over a year ago. I'm trying to find out if he's close to death. I can wake him for meals and meds but he eats very little and now not drinking enough either.
So there is not a HIPPA or POA in place signed by hubby?
You are out of luck. A doctor's responsibility is to his patient and to keep information private is that is patient's wish.
Does he look jaundice? Tremors? Belly protruding? Maybe search online for symptoms of end of life with cirrhosis.
