My DH, SIL and myself begged my MIL and FIL to let us take him to Knoxville to one of the major hospitals and they refused to go..UT Medical Center is a certified stroke center and only an hour away.
Primary Stroke Center Certification - UT Medical Center
We cant force him to go and I am afraid he will have a major stroke if he isn't seen.
