Terminal ill aunty

My brother looks after my terminal ill aunt. There has been a rift between us and he has blocked us and stopped us visiting. They have no medical intervention apart from the doctors ring them. I personally feel she needs district nurses popping in and helping with end of life care. I reported my concerns to the doctor but the doctor just rang them to speak to them. I know my brother checked her oxygen last week and it was in its 60s...also her stomach and legs are swollen. The doctor surly has a duty of care to her. I'm worried. 

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    I can appreciate it is difficult when you do not know the full circumstances of your relative's current situation. If you remain concerned, then do ring the doctor again and convey this to them. Then they can assess what to do for the patient's best interests.

    I am sorry that we cannot be of more help on this occasion.

    Best wishes,

    Vanda
