My friend is killing herself. Been a heavy drinker for over 30 years. Docs have warned her that her liver is damaged but she won't give up the drink. She was recently in hospital and needed a blood transfusion. Due to Covid ( she hasn't got it ) they sent her home and arranged more tests for the week after. This was 2 months ago and she refuses to go. They said she has internal bleeding and Enlarged lymph nodes. She is very thin but has a very swollen stomach and her skin is yellow.
The doctors won't speak to me due to patient confidentiality. I don't know how I can help? She's early 50's.
