I know there's a lot of guys here who know about these things, and I have a question. I had a thread about this in the off-topic forum I think, but apparently threads go away after a certain amount of time there, so here's a new one.
My dad, in his late 70's and otherwise pretty healthy, has some serious heart troubles. A year or so ago my mom got him to finally go to a cardiologist, told him he needs a 5-way bypass. He decided that the doctor didn't know what he was talking about and never went back. Too much work to do on the farm, you know.
Fast forward to today. He's in the hospital with water on his lungs and not doing very well. Hopefully he's been scared into taking the doctor seriously. I live a couple thousand miles away and am not able to be there, and can't get any kind of straight info from anyone. It seems some think it might be too late for him now. Any ideas from those of you who have been through this kind of thing before?
