Suggest Treatment For Left-sided Rib Pain, Bloody Urine After A Fall

Yes, you should!
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
yes you should go right away!
Blood in the urine (particularly if it's visible) denotes urinary tract bleeding which - unless your medical history suggests otherwise - can originate from the kidney. Kidney bleeding can be very serious and needs to be confirmed or excluded as soon as possible!
Also the left rib pain may mean that his spleen could be injured as well. This is serious as well.
Blood thinners make things worse because a minor trauma can bleed for so long that it causes serious trouble.
Checking his blood pressure and pulse rate can give an indication of significant blood loss (low blood pressure and increased pulse rate).
If you'd like more information, please let me know. I'll be glad to help more.
My best wishes for a fast recovery!
