Update.
I manage to bring my dad to hospital because black stool, no energy and fall hit his head. But on the day in emergency ward. His appetite came back, and eat alot now. But his attitude changes. He get agitated very easily. He speak nonsense sometimes and the word he use was not the word he meant sometimes. Sometimes i feel he was not there, he was in somewhere in his past. He even call out my sister name when she is not around. Before he was admitted, his memory was abit bad, and doctors say should be dementia. Now at house, he barely slp. He always wanted to eat every 2 hour, even mid night. He roam around the house looking for food, dropping things around. He even open gas for no reason. I ask him why he told me he want to close it. Doctor did CT scan during admissions and say nth wrong. Anyone can help or give opinion? I feel like he kena rasuk hantu. He got told he got saw child ghost( chinese term).
From experience seen on older people (I am no medical personnel):-
Black stool could mean internal bleeding - colon cancer/polyp.
Being incoherent could be kidney not removing toxins from body.
Rasuk hantu - no idea.
Govt hosp can't be relied on to diagnose problems - maybe go to GP first to get blood test done - once you have the blood test you have baseline/evidence to go question the govt hosp doctors for not taking action to address some of the issues identified in the blood test.
Govt hosp, a lot of times not transparent, results of tests they don't show you, then tell you no problem.
I lost my mom due to stroke due to incompetence of the govt hospital - already told them is stroke symptoms they kept delaying say no issues with her. Paramedic say no prob during triage, and then two idiot doctors that saw her also say no prob.
Last last have to go to GP and then private - by that time too late liao.
