Sorry, I didn't make it clear that I wouldn't contact his doctor without his permission. That would be a huge breach of trust, and I would only do it with cause. He's been talking about "ending up dead," so that kind of talk made me consider asking him to either contact his doctor or let me contact him.

I realize it's not my role, it's just really hard to let someone suffer. I realize I can't save him.

Thanks for your opinions and help
