[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 663114, member: 18958"] I just spoke with the clinic manager. It is a liver transplant clinic at a large university hospital. She was immovable. She became hostile and defensive. I got nowhere. He had 6 no-shows. There is an existing order for blood work, so he can go today to the laboratory. I will go by where he lives a little bit later. She will not budge from the 9/23 appointment. That appointment is with another Hepatologist. She said the doctor left a note that my son not be rescheduled at all. They are doing it anyway. I doubt that his doctor would have done that. It must have been another. I can delay traveling to the BIG CITY and go with him for that appointment. I guess I can try to find somebody to oversee his appointments and going with him maybe through the County Mental Health. The problem is that he lives in one county and the appointment is in a distant county. Honestly, I do not know how to do this. He does not have a phone because he either loses them or destroys them. Perhaps I need to accept he will die and there is nothing I can do. The manager asked me why I was not taking responsibility for getting him to all the missed appointments if I was so concerned about it. How do you explain? My son will not let me be involved. He does not tell me of the appointments. He does not live with me so I cannot control him. I hoped that he could rise to the occasion. I accept it is my fault. Blame me. Please help my son live. Clearly he is not able to live independently and manage his business. The only solution is that he enter the treatment program. The problem is that I cannot control his doing so. I will try to call him and motivate him to get to the lab today. I am very discouraged. I will tell my son that I offered to be his payee or to help him get a payee to organize his money. He said no. I will tell him that I will not bail him out again at the end of the month with food or money for food. And I will not. [/QUOTE]
