Hello, my dad won't show me his leg, and I'm worried since I can smell it. How should I get him help?

Well you could tell him if he doesn't show it to you that you would call 911.

He could certainly refuse to show it to the ENT's as well.
What are you smelling? Is he diabetic? Is there any one in the family he would listen to?
I would play hardball and show him pictures of amputations.
