Does Hernia With Pain And Lump In Stomach Call For Medical Urgency?

Hi there yes my father has just told me that my grandad has been rushed to hospital from his doctor medical centre.. He has hernia and the lump in his stomach. This is caused from his g.p prescribing him with wrong medication and his pain was getting worse over the week and a half and my grandfather was just given medication for each pain he had when the whole time he had hernia.. I m just wondering I live far from my family should I be really worried and book me a flight ticket home or is hernia a normal thing? My grandfather is nearly 70years old
