You aren’t rude, and I understand why you are frustrated. If he has pneumonia, it is nothing to play with. Take him to emergency if your intuition tells you that it’s time. The worst thing that could happen is that he is okay and they send him home.

I’ve been watching the Justin Rhodes Vlawg on YouTube, where he and his sons have been clearing woodlands for pasture and building a road to the top of their mountain.
Seems hillbillys have lots of practice. Justin lives in western North Carolina, and their farm sustained considerable damage, though fortunately not their home, and they didn’t have flooding.

Correction. They did have flooding and it pretty much took out their new pole barn.

Latest update from Rhodes:
Rhodes Hurricane update: We’re ok but the lower farm is destroyed. Lost bees, turkeys, high tunnel, lower pasture, lower gardens, the bridge etc… came within feet of the house. There will be no power for weeks. Video posting will be delayed. Roads are closed but we have our generator with lots of fuel. Grandma and grandpa are safe and we will be able to access them by vehicle soon.
Just a note: They just finished a complete rebuild/remodel of their home and moved in last week. If they had lost that, I can’t imagine. Justin estimates there is at least $100,000 in damages, and they are the lucky ones.
ADD: They are near Asheville.

Was just talking about this with Mrs. T. I’m wondering if this isn’t Biden’s last middle finger to the D cabal that kicked him to the curb. He could put a 90-day hold on this which would get them past the election. The longer this goes, the worse it should get for the commies.

I’m game for Coffee With a Cop Day since I’ve fallen in love with half the Arkansas State Police, especially the adorable 28-year-old Jacob Byrd, who is an exert in the PIT (precision immobilization technique) maneuver.
Start at 8:55 for Jacob taking over primary lead, doing the PIT, followed by several different tapes from other police dash cams, and then see him later talking with all the other police. Such a sweetie!
He still projects youthful enthusiasm. No show of cynicism…I hope that never changes. He’s friendly, even with the perps on occasion unless they’re arrogant, entitled-acting and whiney (all three which, unfortunately, is a huge percentage of the time). You can tell he enjoys being good at his job and seems to take accolades in stride even though he exhibits confidence in his abilities. I bet he’s made his Mom and Dad really proud.

I’ve read hey turned away a convoy of medical professionals, and entire load of pipe to restore water in one town, helicopters, people, I’ve lost track. And most of those from very credible sources.
So, what’s the end game here? It’s time for every person able, including the 82nd Airborne to say hell with it, knock them on their asses, and go in.
