H has various blood disorders that he has taken chemotherapy tablets for for ten years now and diabetes that's currently not well controlled for some reason.
A fortnight ago he saw GP at my insistence as he was sleeping all the time, had severe sweating,raging thirst etc.
Blood tests showed basically that liver struggling,diabetes not good, large red blood cells,anaemia, fundamentally apart from platelets which were higher than normal (so of concern but good for him) there was a concern about everything else.
GP ordered more blood tests to rule out B12 deficiency and thyroid levels which came back clear. H has an appointment on Friday with the GP and another repeat of the blood tests.
Today he's got up with a yellow tinge to face, neck arms, whites of eyes which to my mind is a reason to see GP today but apparently H thinks not as he has an appointment on Friday. So is jaundice considered an emergency bearing in mind we already knew that LFT was "worrying" before H turned yellow?
MIL was a hypochondriac and H has a lot of health anxiety but a dislike of seeing Doctors etc which probably explains the reluctance.

AIBU?
To think that when someone gets up and is jaundiced they should see the GP today?
