My friends platelets are low and was advised 7-10 hospital stay starting today due to alcohol consumption . At admission, he and the Dr. concluded that he would receive a medical referral to detox following a Monday MRI for his back and bypass treatment until this is finished. Hoping he will decide to go ahead with treatment this Tuesday, after MRI, what to do if he refuses is the scary question. So, not sure how long his body will be able to survive all this drinking and still go another 4-5 days without treatment.. Your thoughts?
HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI can understand your worry but the way you have asked it is difficult to say anything for the survival of the patient without knowing the complete clinical history and clinical examination, here we can just give the guideline for treatment and positively encourage the patient for their rapid recovery trying to brig the confidence back, I think you are just with your friend you could do the same thing for his life instead of thinking about his survival period, I hope this answer would be helpful to you, take a good care of your friend, have nice day.
