Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband broke his hip 5 years ago. Since then he has been in and out of hospital and care homes, at present he is in hospital. He has cirrrosis of the liver which was diagnosed 2-3 years ago. He drinks a litre of whisky or a bottle of brandy a day when at home. The doctor has told him to stop taking pain killers because of the serious amount of damage he has done to his liver. His legs and abdomen are swollen and although he is eating at present after a few days at home he will not.
Can you give me a rough guide as to how serious his problem is now as I feel he may not last long.
