I have to do the same for my dad, only his problem is he just likes to ignore things. We were in the emergency room for chest pain. He tells the doctor well he takes medicine for high blood pressure. I chime in with and for diabetes, atrial fibrillation, a bleeding ulcer, congestive heart failure, and a blood clot in his leg. When the doctor leaves my dad looks at me and say geeze you make it sound like I'm sick. Sometimes I could just scream.
