What would you say to convince someone to go to the doctor (serious condition)?
That is difficult to answer without knowing anything about the person or the condition. How about, “Cool, should we go to the lawyer to set up the kids’ trust funds instead?” Or “Cool, who should we find to handle (insert important thing here).” Or, “It’ll be easier to listen to the doctor for an hour than listen to me nag for the next week.” Or let him/her know that when asked why they came in, about 30% of my critical ill patients say my spouse/life partner made me. I generally endorse this good decision, since the individual in question ended up in the ICU.
How do you convince someone who hasn't been to a doctor in over 5 years to have a checkup?
"Anyone who lives 70 years WILL have cancer in that time. Half will be killed by it. People who live and suffer least find it early. The dead people did nothing while a disease that began in a single location as a small cluster of abnormal cells overtook and laid waste to internal organs as Alexander did nations.Alexander likely died of a viral or bacterial infection he didn't take seriously.You'll die of a serious disease taken lightly because it lacks the symptoms of infection.Avoiding a doctor because you feel fine is as smart as avoiding a mechanic and, therefore, all car maintenance, because it runs fine.And you're likely to run fine, yourself, until your first symptoms indicate an already fatal condition.Because if you hope to live long, you must expect to get cancer. Because you are CERTAIN TO.Also, nothing functions properly in old people. And all the little things you consider part of getting old could be symptoms of something else....No one has ever been glad they didn't go to the doctor. Unless suicide is your aim.If it is, you're an idiot. If not, the same seems true.
How can I convince someone to go to the doctor?
My mom and I are VERY worried about my grandmother. She lives far away, and last week she called my mom and told her that there was blood in her stool. My mom insisted that she go call and make an appointment with her doctor, yet my grandma refused. You see, my grandma is TERRIFIED of seeing a doctor, because she is worried about what the doctor will tell her. She is afraid that the doctor will tell her its life threatening or something of the sort, so she instead decides to ignore the problem. Well, she called my mom again today and told her that the blood is there whenever she goes to the bathroom, so much so that she now just doesn't even check anymore. My mom is begging her to go, but she just keeps saying that she is too afraid. My mom even begged her, in tears over the phone, to go, but my grandma won't budge just because she is worried. Just so you all know, my grandma is in her seventies and doesn't have dimentia or anything of the sort. Thank you for the help.

How do I convince someone that doctors do not assign genders, but instead simply notice and state it?
You can't, because not only is that premise factually incorrect, but also makes the mistake of treating gender and sex as the same thing, when they are not.Gender is what a person’s brain says they are- in other words, gender is who they are. Sex is determined based off the physical traits presented by the person’s body, particularly those caused by sexual dimorphism.However, despite the two being separate traits, when a doctor determines an infants sex, they are assigning a gender to the child due to the fact that people will default to treating the child as if they are cisgender. In many cases where a child is born with sex traits that are mixed, the doctors will attempt to pressure the parents into having surgery done to “normalize” the child’s anatomy into to matching ONE of the two commonly acknowledged sexes. This usually involves some degree of genital mutilaion, forced infertility or even sterilization, and it can turn out that the doctors forced the parents to “normalize” the child’s sexual traits into those that do not match their gender. Some doctors will go so far as to insist that the child has the puberty for the assigned sex induced by giving them on the “correct” hormones, sometimes starting as early as age nine. While some countries are making progress toward acknowledging the existence of intersex people and stepping away from coercive gender assignment and “correction,” few give legal acknowledgement of said sex and most countries still categorize intersex people as either male or female.To summarize- doctor’s can't “notice” gender, as they can not see the person self, and they are responsible for being the ones to mark an infant as male or female by using the most obvious sex traits. They sometimes go so far as to harass parents into capitulating into having irreversible mutilating surgeries done, and into treating the child as the assigned gender. While mutilation is becoming less common, forced assignment to either male or female sex is still the most common outcome.
Is there a way you can force someone to go to the doctor?
Easy. Call your emergency services and explain that you have an 88 year old who requires immediate medical assistance but can't or simply refuses to go to the hospital. During the call stress out the terms "88 year old" and "requires immediate medical assistance".Even if she tries to fight back or yells at the paramedics when they arrive they are always required to ensure the person in distress is not in any immediate risk to their health and therefore will take her to the hospital in the ambulance. The key is to put the situation in a way that the emergency services would be (illegally) denying help to your grandmother if they refused to take her in.
How can I convince my parents to go to the doctors for a concussion?
It is vital that you go to hospital and get some simple neurological checks done and treated for concussion. I am certain that you have concussion and it is absolutely essential that you get properly examined and treated. If concussion is not treated properly it can develop into post concussion syndrome which is worse and can last for many months. Your school work will no doubt suffer as you will not be able to retain information and be unable to concentrate. You will have mood swings and be generally very irritable. None of which will be your fault as this is what can happen with an untreated head knock. Also, when there has been a severe head knock like you have had it means that the brain is banged around within the skull and this can cause a blood clot or bleed on the brain. I do not want to alarm you and this is the worst case scenario. I am sure you will be fine after treatment and plenty of rest, but you must try and convince your parents. You can show them this answer if you want to. I do not know what age you are, or what country you are in but is it possible for you to go to the hospital yourself? Or maybe get your aunt to take you? I hope you can get this sorted out quickly because the quality of your life will be impaired if you do not get treatment. I also forgot to mention that your short term memory is likely to be affected if untreated. Good luck
How do you convince someone who has bipolar disorder to go to a doctor for a diagnosis and seek medical help?
Helping someone with bipolar can be challenging because understanding the symptoms of bipolar and helping someone else notice the changes in themselves is a delicate endeavor:Come from a place of love. If you are sure that you want to undertake this task consider the best method to receive the best results. The approach you take to the situation will influence everything that follows. Blurting out “You’re bipolar!” at Thanksgiving is not going to be well received and will only lessen your credibility in the future. Maintaining a strong relationship will enable your message to be accepted.Watch for symptoms. If you have been noticing troubling signs and symptoms, write them down. Gathering a base of information will assist you in presenting a compelling case later. Look for changes in mood, energy levels, sleep, decision-making, risk taking and track what you see.Know the criteria. Often, people have misconceptions about what bipolar disorder is and how it operates. Someone being happy one minute and sad the next does not mean they have bipolar disorder. Generally, bipolar disorder means that someone has met the criteria for a manic episode as well as a depressive episode. A manic episode is a week-long period where someone has symptoms including decreased need for sleep, increased energy, inflated self-esteem and increase in risky behavior. A depressive episode is a two week period of low mood, low energy, sleep/ appetite changes and other symptoms. Someone with bipolar tends to switch between depressive and manic episodes with periods of calm in between.Encourage treatment. Do you hold an advanced degree in counseling or psychiatry? If the answer is no, leave the therapy to the professionals. The best advice you can give your loved one is to seek out treatment. People with bipolar disorder typically benefit from a combination of medication and therapy. Tell them your concerns and how you think treatment would benefit them. Let them know you care and would be willing to attend appointments to increase their comfort. If they disagree, give them space. Therapy only works on the willing.
