He was getting care at UK an I moved him up to OH They have him on meds. But he is getting defiant with me. I don't know how to get him taken care of. We do have a referral through UK My name is Kimalene King. I should have said that first. He was on the transplant list an he told them he didn't have family. He thought we would have to pay. Can you please set me in the right direction.
Thank you for your help

Hi nanaking. I am sorry that you are facing uncertainty about what top do for your brother. I am a volunteer mentor, and also a transplant recipient.
You said that your brother has a referral through UK. Where did they refer him? That is where I would start. I think that you should follow up on that referral and get an appointment. I also think you should contact the insurance carrier and talk to someone about what kind of coverage he has, as well as how much he or the family will be responsible for. The center where he will be seen should be able to help you with this, too.
Is his defiance a normal behavior for him? Since he has moved away from UK, has had any follow-up by a doctor?
