My husbands uncle refuses any doctor visit but is very much house bound and at the point of bedridden. He doesn't eat he's yellow bleeding urine and nose bleed continuously I visit him 4-5 daily to help but it's getting to much he has fell almost daily and developing bed sores any mention of doctor he gets mad and refuses. He lives on pop cycles alone and very weak and wants to die. What do I do when does this get out my hands legally? He's 74 and just coughs up blood all day. .
I think it's a moral and ethical issue as well.
Is your husband involved? Are there any other family members involved? If so, I would have a family meeting to bring everyone up to date and discussion options.
If you can't do this ASAP, I think I'd call APS to get them to intervene. An argument could be made that YOU should do this because you're aware of the situation.
Does anyone have any powers of attorney for him?
But there are some unanswered questions here...has he had any medical treatment at all recently? Has the hemmoraghing been diagnosed as to the source? How long has he been in this deconditioned state?
Does he have any children? Does he show any signs of dementia that could interfere with his judgment and survival instincts?
