I work in health care, and have done just about everything to try to get my mother to see a physician. She has not been for a check up, blood work, or anything in over 15 years. She is showing several symptoms of possibly very harmful diseases (yes, no illnesses) and not to mention the many heart issues, cancers and diabetes that runs in the family. She is aware of her symptoms, but will not go to the doctor no matter what.
I've tried the method of scaring her into going (explaining what could happen if she does not get looked into), and when I ask her why she doesn't go she begins to get hostile and angry with me.
Any ideas? Thanks so much in advanced.
