Bless your heart. I know how awful it is when a parent is ill and you feel helpless. I've lost both parents and i feel like an orphan. I relief on my parents for advice -- maybe I relied too heavily as now I feel almost lost. There are so many times I want to ask my Mom something or tell her something. 
I'm so sorry your Dad is so ill. I think you're correct in wanting to take him to the teaching hospital. If he can take the trip, I think it would be well worth it. The teaching hospitals are much better at diagnosing and treating illnesses than the GP's or "specialists" in home towns. They're up on the latest treatments and procedures and the doctors are better trained. I'd take my parents too!!!
Best of luck and PLEASE let us know what happens, will you? I'd be interested in finding out what they say. Take care and God bless. Hugs, Lee
