What can you do but read him or her there last right and make shore they make there will!! I say it so simple because I know what you meen. I have never been in that position but I have known of some one who had a relative who refused doctor's treatment because the person was Jovia wackiness and there was nothing that the family could do because those people watches the person to the end plus I thing that relegation is a colt
they rather be dead befor take certain doctor's medison that alone
is sicken even to think about, So I really know what you are talking about, That is why i say just have them make there will and say good by to them and watch them go. That sound hard but it is the truth I am not joking @ all It's like they gave taken there own life's so it may sound hard but that's just what haven to
happen! good luck if it's you who are going true that>>>>>>>.

It might be that he does not believe in taking prescription medications, than after he knows (diagnosed) what kind of disease he has, it can also be treated with untraditional methods (which is not practiced a lot in US, unfortunately). I am sure you could find some websites describing the symptoms and finding cures. There is also another way - if he refuses to go to the doctor, you could call the nurse and explain the situation, sometimes they could help you over the phone.
And one more thing - relax, don't stress too much, doctors and drugs don't cure the disease, the body itself does with little help from above. A prayer on his behalf could help tremendously.

can you speak to anyone else in the family? is he married, if so his wife, at the end of the day, as hard as it is some people wont be helped, tell him how worried you are, if it makes no difference, there is very little you can do, he may have to reach rock bottom to realise he needs help. also you could always ask a pharmasist for advice or your own doctor, but just remember its his life, and his choice what he does with it.

Tell your parents to talk to him, his wife. Someone his age. He might not go because of $-That can be fixed. He might not go because he's scared-He can have someone hold his hand. You could even have someone his age call a doctor for him. Maybe get the doctor's office to call him and check in. If you tell them his symptoms and that you're worried. A decent doctor's office would take the 5 min. to call and make sure he's good. Just remember you can't help people that won't help themselves. Just keep talking his ear off-maybe he'll get the picture soon.
Best of luck.

Hello, I know exactly what your going through. My mum refused cancer treatment to start with. If your uncle is refusing to see any doctors and youve tried all you can to get him to change his mind, why dont you suggest to him about herbal alternative treatments? Just type in online what his problem is and alternative treatments and your get a huge list of things he can try.
Alternatively have you tried writing him a letter? Sometimes people listen to us better when our feelings and concerns and put into writing. What we SAID to them five mintues ago may of been forgotten or misheard correctly, but in WRITING its there to read again. As we read something its like talking to ourselves, so everything we read is taken in. Try writing him a letter, raise your concerns. Tell him how you feel about it, tell him how much you love him and dont want him to suffer. Tell him as he is suffering, so too are you and the rest of his family.
Its not about making him feel guilty, its about making him understand that the people he loves REALLY do care about him and his health. That all they want is for him to be well again.
It took me to write my mum a very touching letter to make her see sence in her treatment. It worked for me. Theres no harm in you trying this too hun xx

My dad was like that. Took 5 of us to get(convince) him to go.
When he gets sick enough, he will go. If he gets worse and still refuses, get an ambulance and 302 him to a hosp. (This is a committment because you are saying he is out of his mind and not rational enough to make a qualified decision concerning his health.). It may seem harsh, but it beats letting him die at home.

I would tell him Doctors are children of the lord..and their knowledge and healing powers are gifts from god. Tell him..that the doctor's mission in life is to help others in need..and right now your uncle is in need of intervention. Tell him God helps those who help themselves.

He's a competent adult who is sane and able to decide what medical treatment he wants. Therefore, there is nothing you can do if you can't convince him otherwise.

call the ambulance and they will come get him. they may not be able to force him but maybe once they tell him how seriously he needs to go he will go. sometimes they can talk people into things they are trained in this area.
