the orphan crushing machine part is the fact that a 63yo man has no means by which he can access healthcare except to be driven by his 96yo father in a car. No hospital close enough to walk to, no public transportation, no option for a house call.

Also, and the actual solution in civilized countries: no free / highly subsidized cabs for rides to/from doctors/hospitals for people that can't get there on their own.

I don’t know the area they live in but based on my experience that would be their own fault. My area has busses that’ll come to your house and take you to the hospital, store, etc. if you’re elderly or disabled.

Have you considered that maybe this guy has more than enough money to actually do that and is being old and stubborn?

Odds are unironically good that’s the case.
