Hi,

Sorry to read about your issues with your husband.. If he refuses any treatment or consultation from medics? Ethically, there is very little can be done.. He is not diagnosed with a mental illness..

Now this has no bearing on your own experience. But I was in a relationship with someone of a "self destructive" nature.
All I could say to her was this. (Ethnically again, any physical intervention against her wishes would have been a form of "assault." )

"You've gone against my reasonable advice. The second you lose consciousness? Ethically it's out of both our hands.. I'm dialling 999 .. I'm not a doctor, but I assure you it won't be pretty. My only moral duty now, is to pick up the phone as you shut down.."

Sorry, I don't feel it's harsh.. It's all you can do. Unless your husband sees reason.?

Good luck.
 
Hi no good news I am afraid still won't go and get himself sorted out he blood levels are running high no ketones at moment
 
What you can do, and should do is to sit down with your husband and talk about what funeral arrangements he wants, what music, what flowers etc. If he is intent on killing himself at least he should tell you how he wants his funeral.

Perhaps contact his Dr and tell them what's going on . This covers your article when the inevitable happens. Just ring and say concern for welfare, then hopefully the Dr will come out and see him.
