Okay so my dad has chased me out of the house (i'm in the libray now.) because he is really sick. He feels dizzy and he has to crawl to get around. He has lost the abillity to 'hold it' for now. It started today. What do you think is and how should I treat him? (med. wise,)

I'm assuming that your dad chased you out of the house because he doesn't want you to help him right now. For your own sake call a Dr's clinic or the hospital--there's probably a free clinic in the area and if you're at the library you can look the number up in the phone book (if you can't find it there is probably a librarian there that can help you). Tell the Dr's clinic what is happening, they will know what questions to ask you to figure out exactly what is wrong with your dad, and they can help you figure out exactly what you need to do.

YOUR DAD'S HEALTH ISSUE COULD BE A NUMBER OF THINGS. IF I WERE YOU I WOULD ( IN A SHORT WHILE) GO BACK TO THE HOUSE AND SEE IF THE ATMOSPHERE HAS CHANGED. IF NOT, CALL POSSIBLY FRIENDS OR A NURSE LINE AND GET ADVICE. WHEN YOU SEE YOUR DAD AGAIN ASK HIM WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP HIM ----- IF HE RESISTS AND IS STUBBORN CALL HIS BEST FRIEND AND HAVE HIM OR HER HELP. MAYBE YOUR DAD WANTS TO BE LEFT ALONE BUT DONT RULE OUT HELP FOR HIM. THERE IS ALWAYS THE POLICE THAT WILL HELP HIM AS A LAST RESORT TO GET HIM TO SEEK TREATMENT SOMEWHERE . DONT FEEL GUILTY YOURSELF, JUST KEEP THE IDEAS FLOWING AND ALL THINGS WORK OUT ..

if he is that dizzy, and incontinent to boot, then you need to take the bull by the horns and get him medical care. Go to the house, call 911 and get the aid unit out there ASAP. Failure to do so would qualify as negligent abuse. Get him the help he needs, if he is that sick, he isn't thinking straight.

Get him to an emergency room.

i don't know what you mean by "hold it."
