question: My father has afib and has type 2 diabeties. He has had wounds and infections on his legs for 2 years +. His hemoglobin level is 8, and does not appear to currently have infection in his legs, just swelling. He just experienced a ventricular tachycardia and is currently in the ICU. His primary care doctor does not seem to be concerned at all, and thinks he should be released. My dad has also lost 50 pounds in 3 months unintentionally. I don t think he should leave the hospital yet, he has no strength and I am worried that something worse will happen if he goes home now. His cardiologist will be doing a heart cath soon to determine what is going on in his heart. What kind of doctor is best to help him with all of these issues?
