Patrik: Intensive Care Hotline, Patrik speaking. How can I help?

Lara: Oh, Hi. Good evening, Patrik. I’m just calling because I came across your website and actually my mother’s in hospital at the moment. She had a hemorrhagic stroke.

Patrik: Hemorrhagic stroke.

Lara: That’s right. Yeah. And we were told on the day that there’s nothing they can do because of the bleed size and she’d only last a day or two. But she’s already lasted nearly a week now and she’s showing really positive signs. So she’s showing signs she’s breathing by herself. Her right side is moving. She’s making just a little bit of noise, not too much. I mean, her eyes aren’t opening but she is responding to some commands. Like if I ask her, I’ve told her to raise her arm as a yes and keep it down as a no. So we thought she’s doing okay. But unfortunately, she’s caught pneumonia as well, so she’s on antibiotics.

We’ve been told that they’re helping, but they said that they’re not helping fast enough. So what they’ve said is she’s on a feeding tube now and they said that if the antibiotics aren’t working, then they’re going to stop the feed, which I think is really inhumane. It doesn’t make any sense.
