I can't convince my husband to see a doctor...Help!!?

Bleeding ulcers can be terminal. They are very serious and should not be taken lightly. However, I cannot see how a bleeding ulcer could cause an aneurysm. They are not in the same area nor of the same or similar causes.

An aneurysm is:

An aneurysm (or aneurysm) (Greek: ανεύρυσμα) is a localized, blood-filled dilation (balloon-like bulge) of a blood vessel[1] caused by disease or weakening of the vessel wall.

Aneurysms most commonly occur in arteries at the base of the brain (the circle of Willis) and in the aorta (the main artery coming out of the heart, a so-called aortic aneurysm). As the size of an aneurysm increases, there is an increased risk of rupture, which can result in severe hemorrhage or other complications including sudden death.

Bleeding ulcers are a sore in your stomach or intestine:

You can see if you can't find a doctor that would make a house call. That way, he won't miss work and he'll still have the medical attention he requires. The doctor will probably tell him that he needs to make an appointment anyway to see him at his office, but maybe your husband needs to hear it from the doctor and not just you and his mother.

If all else fails, you COULD injury him in a way to where he would HAVE to go to a doctor. I wouldn't recommend it though.

I agree with Happy-2. You may have to get angry to motivate him. I hate doing this, but sometimes it's the only way. It sounds like he really needs to go to the doctor. My father had a stroke and wouldn't allow my mother to take him to the hospital. The only way she could get him to go was to get angry and call an ambulance. It was the only way to get him to the hospital. Some men are very stubborn. Good luck.

Pull out your life insurance policies and spread them out on the kitchen table. Tell him that since he's being a stubborn old fart, you want to make sure everything is in order. Tell him that you aren't looking forward to pan-handling for a living after he's killed himself, so it's important to get this stuff up to date........

OR............ The big baby could go to the doctor. Make sure to give him a smiley face sticker when he gets home (but only if he didn't cry, and only if he REALLY WENT !!).

Yes, there is something else you can do. Take off the kid gloves and get angry. Wise married people agree that it is important in a marriage to choose your battles wisely. Well, the health of your husband is a battle worth fighting!

Most guy's are stubborn we only go to the Doctor when we have to. Nagging him won't help, try appealing to do it for your piece of mind.

Find a dr he can go to on a Saturday. Call his bluff.
