A member asked:
My husband is in his last stage of copd also a alcoholic and won't stop smoking or drinking and is making my life crazy wont take anything for the pai?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a primary doctor: When a woman's husband is smoking, drinking, and making her "life crazy", she can get help from a primary care dr. Ideally, the dr. Has been taking care of her problems for many years. If that's not the case, she may have to "try out" a couple of internists or family practitioners before finding a dr. Who is a good match. The dr. Might refer to support groups or psychologists to help the couple.
