They're apparently at Timp, not CHOP, as she's already blacklisted by CHOP. But yes, I highly doubt Timp is actually calling CHOP to request they take a genetic mess of a toddler, who is currently unstable, in case she declines further and needs ECMO. I'd be amazed if anyone was actually considering it, it's really fucking invasive and risky on a previously healthy adult, for a sick kid? It's time to stop fighting and cherish these last days.
No one's putting Revie on ECMO, unless they are a lunatic. From what I understand putting somebody on ECMO is a complicated procedure. If something goes wrong, and Revi dies, the doctor putting her on ECMO will have to go through lawsuits and will be hated very thoroughly on the internet, extremely defamed by Brittany. Even if the doctor does everything right, they'll be screwed. Revie is probably the first and only such case with her disease even at the Primary. There are I think quite a few things, that could go very wrong, that don't happen with regular children in a similar situation, that a doctor can't predict.
And there is also another psychological aspect - you don't want to be the one to kill Revie. The doctor would blame himself, if Revie died on the table, I think.
If you do the right thing and withdraw care, it's not like pulling a tube and maybe getting a little while with your family member before they croak, if they're on ECMO it's a matter of turning the machine off and that's it.
I mean even if they the fully palliative path, Revie can still get oxygen and her anti seizure meds, just not the ECMO and similar stuff. She could be dying with hardly any pain surrounded by her family. Meanwhile she's dying but in unfamiliar place. I hope she doesn't have any awareness left, because it must be scary for a kid.
Saturation 70% on maxed oxygen??? I know nothing, but this is like tragically bad. Nevermind, I can't explain this thing, but basically it's very bad. If her saturation drops this low often, then her brain is deprived of oxygen, which means more brain damage. So if she gets "better", then she's just going to have more and harder seizures.
Also why the fuck is she posting starbucks coffee, is she like maximizing the amount of instagram posts "hey let's see if I can make a million instagram posts"?
And what does she mean by saying, that Revie's lungs might regenerate, when she fights off the infection? Lungs aren't liver. I mean they will work better after the infection, but if the infection is causing actual lung failure or something, then they won't regenerate I think? If lungs have the capability to regenerate, then why do we even have diseases like COPD???
I'm feeling sorry for all the nurses and the other staff, because they have to entertain that bitch Brittany.
