i think monday is bank holiday, and you might need the support yourself with the doctor to your husband. he is not seeing it from your viewpoint.
Korsakoff

When you contact someone make sure that you tell them that he hasnt eaten anything for a week, that you are struggling to get him to swallow fluid and you fear that he is at end of life.
If the doctor agrees that he is at end of life then s/he can prescribe medication to keep him pain-free and comfortable and can organise district nurses and carers, so it is really worth doing.

I think the doctor is wrong in his opinion that your husband has capacity if you walked away from caring for him his whole world would disintegrate someone needs to listen to you soon..
I did leave him when he discharged himself from hospital. I had a breakdown and slept in mums coach. His friend and his daughter were calling each day and contacting me distressed. He had a major gas leak. So no heating for 3 days. I eventually came home because I was so worried about him. He struggled to just open the door never mind get his beers. That's when I rang ss. His daughter had also rung them. It's all such a mess. I am desperately trying to stay strong for him.
i think that you need to look after yourself. please see if you can get some help. its not right you should do this all by yourself. maybe contact his daughter as well. sometimes, his wants out way his needs. keep posting,
I have contacted DVLA about my husband condition.
I felt like I was betraying him, but it's the safest for him and other road users.
it's so hard being strong, feeling like we are taking independance away.

you havent taken his independence away but the korsakoff has done that. you have no choice but to inform them. if he has insurance, they have to be told too.
I never thought about that. I will ring them tomorrow while he is sleeping.
Thank you for keeping me strong x
