Hubby with Apathy

My hubby refuses to let the doctor in our home for a home visit to have a chat about a medication review. Hubby has put 2 letters in the bin now from the doctor and the dr has tried visiting this week. What happens next if my hubby is refusing to talk to our doctor or let him into our home? This really is stressing me a lot. Thank you, Debbie (wife)

    1. Debbie, this must be so hard! Do you have any family or friends who could help you with this? Maybe another voice could convince him to listen to you and get help. Let us know how this approach goes. Jill (Team Member)
