To not do anything for unwell husband

[Pitapata]

Husband has been poorly for some time. Very chesty, lots of horrible coloured phlegm, complaining of chest & rib pain along with breathlessness.

I have been doing absolutely everything house, kids, work etc.. whilst he's been unwell.

I finally managed to convince him to go and see the GP who told him she thinks he needs to go to the hospital he refused to do so and so she prescribed him some ABs in the meantime.

This was days ago, the ABs are yet to make any difference, unsurprisingly as GP thought he needed hospital but he is still saying no way to going and waiting hours and hours in an A&E.

Aibu to say that if he refuses to go to hospital as recommended by his doctor that's the end of my sympathy and ill be doing nothing else for him now whilst he lies in bed.

What a stupid fucking fool he is. Why is he happy to waste weeks at home in bed, feeling shit and moaning, but won’t go to the hospital for an arranged referral to get a chest X-ray to rule out pneumonia/other conditions?

Quick q, does he smoke?

This is a very important point, and true.

Morning OP! How are you and DH getting on? Is he seeing sense yet?

I cannot believe the number of imbeciles saying this isn't an accident or emergency. It could very well be an emergency, it could possibly be pneumonia.

Make the appointment, arrange the childcare and go with him to hospital / GP. Go into the appointment and make notes. Take him to the next appointment. Repeat until better.

He isn't any good at being ill. Step up.

How can she force him to go when he says he’s not going?

And why should she? He's a grown arse adult with a family - he should be taking the advice of his GP.

I hope he's ok op? (And that you are!)

I hope you and DH are ok OP
