Mr. O, 80 years old, has been treated at home for several years because some of his organ functions have deteriorated. He regularly takes medications prescribed by his doctor to anticipate complications of the disease that can arise from the decline in organ function. Every day he spends most of his time lying down and watching television.

To walk, Mr. O needs a four-legged walking aid. Without the walker, he will not be able to walk if he is not supported by someone. One day, Mr. O had a fever and had to stay in bed. When he was about to urinate, he got up from the bed and wanted to walk using the walker. But he lost his balance and fell down. As a result, he was unable to get up and it seemed like he had a hip fracture.

Mr. O's family were hesitated about taking him to the hospital because he looked weak and in pain. If he was brought to hospital using family car or ambulance, his family worried that his condition would get worse.
