<s>[INST] this is a 69 year old man.  He has congestion heart failure, one leg due to dibetis, sorissus of the liver non alcoholic, and hes on a kidney machine.  The doctor told us that his heart is to weak for the surgery to remove the gallstones, and his stomach hurts and he dont eat.  How long can a person live in that condition with galstones [/INST] Hi. This is a tough question to be honest with you. Life expectancy is obviously dependent on crucial factors like general health. With heart condition, diabetes, and liver problems, life expectancy is greatly reduced. So the answer to your question is that probably less than the average (men in US/UK live till they are 80 years or so). The more important question is if there is any danger of dying in the short term. Gallstones won't kill you, so the answer to that is no, it does not oppose a danger. The problem is that gallstones can cause an infection, in that case they put in a little tube and Chat Doctor. In this case I would say that having Diabetes and being on the dialysis machine does not mean that there are just a few months or even very few years to live, with good medical care one can live quite a while like this. The heart condition, however, is more unpredictable. Over all, no danger of dying in the short term. Hope this helps. </s>
