How To Deal With A Patient Who Has Had Four Heart-attacks ?
How to deal with a parent who has had four heart-attacks, a pace-maker and defibulator implanted and? still refuses to take his medicine. It is very stressful to the family, everyone is in constant worry about him and yet he still smokes a pack of cigaretes a day and refuses medicine. He is depressed, angry and stresses my mom out. What can I do as a daughter?

Nothing, try to get along with him, perhaps he has decided his time is up and that's his choice, not yours.
