question: 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?
