I’m afraid my dad is sick. He smoked for years and now he’s throwing up rust phlegm. He refuses to go to the doctor because he has no health insurance. Is there a way I can convince him?

Question

Answer

Maybe try to convince get him some health insurance coverage through government? Maybe if he had access to affordable health care he might go to the doctor. Help him find out what his options are.

Answer

Find a Minute Clinic-type place at your local pharmacy and take him there. The rust color may be due to blood, which is never a good sign.
If your dad won't go to the doctor for himself, ask him to do it for you instead.

Answer

If you’re in the Us, call 211 and find a sliding scale clinic hear him.

Answer

My father was in afib for 3 entire days before I finally guilt tripped him into going to the hospital. I had to get legitimately dramatic and scream/cry at him that I didn’t want to be an orphan and how much it will hurt to know my kids will only have 1 set of grandparents. He finally caved and was in the hospital for 3 days.
