[QUOTE=rose;2387481]The best place for this man in this condition is in the hospital.

Hi Rose I appreciate very much your empathy, thank you. Unfortunately, the last time we went to the hospital they wouldn't admit him, and sent us to another hospital to meet with a plastic surgeon, who basically signed him up for home wound care, which my friend did not follow up on even though we were one block from the intake appointment and he refused to go in.

Last week I found out he could get home care in the new area I just moved to but it required a requisition from a doctor, which I cannot get until he goes to a doctor.

So admitting him to the hospital is not all that easy. An alternative perhaps I am looking into and he also has thought of is somehow getting admitted to the mental ward, I will be looking into that with a social worker at a hospital soon.
