Getting my dad to take his health seriously had been an uphill battle for us.
It turns out he had self-recorded his blood pressure that morning and he decided not to tell my mom that it was dangerously sky high, probably because he knew she'd rush him to the hospital and he didn't want to go.

Oh no, I'm so sorry. Why does it seem like so many of our parents/grandparents are like this?
I think a lot of it ties into a complete lack of mental health care for them, and especially for men.
