DF is 71 and widowed. He has been in reasonably good health really up to the last year or so. He smoked (not heavily but even so) from the age of 11 to 65 when he gave up because he was starting to get breathless in some situations.
So he went to the docs last week with a chest infection. He was given antibiotics but he didn't tell the doctor that he'd been having some dodgy symptoms even when well. (Wheezing, coughing, breathless walking uphill). I'd tried to get him to go when he was well but he refused to admit there was a problem. Mum had noticed before she died. I suspect if he goes tomorrow then again he'll just pretend it's all to do with the flu
So wwyd - ring the docs and grass him up? Can I even do that? I doubt he would fancy me going with him but should I start a row about that? It's so bloody hard .
