My dad was in the hospital for 6 weeks. During this time he had major pneumonia and a mass in his lung. As the pneumonia went away so did the mass. He went to rehab and was doing excellent and they were going to send him home. His oxygen dropped to 81 and they sent him to a different hospital. This hospital drained 1400cc of fluid from around his lung. They said he has a mass. They aren't testing it and are saying he needs hospice and to be comfortable. They are letting him die without testing. I need a pulmonary dr to go to him asap to fix him with a Stent until the pneumonia clears but noone around here will travel to him and all the closest hospitals are full. I'm very desperate
