one costs hundreds of thousands of dollars (though insurance should cover it but is a fucking joke at this point) and the other is a some nurses having a good laugh (not costing anything) Lol
I'm betting weed, specifically charlottes' web, would handle those seizures.
Also, she looks almost exactly like my first real GF from 8th grade... so... double the feels :/
Plus the hospital staff doesn't get to decide shit. They can't just go " OH yeah we'll do it " unless you can pay out of pocket and especially the nurses can't do the procedure
Well... I guess a surgeon and a team could.... but they'd still get slapped with a multi-million dollar lawsuit regardless if it worked or not. Even if it was paid for.
The state can sue, even if the patient has zero objection (in the US).. it's the same thing with the state being able to prosecute people they think assaulted someone even if the person "assaulted" doesn't press charges.
It's also half the reason suicide is illegal.
So.... even if they preformed the surgery with all parties consent, in the states the state itself can sue. It's fucked up.
The reason they rejected the procedure was because it was experimental and not enough clinical trials have been done to show it would solve her epileptic episodes. It's possible it could solve her seizures but in the trials it has been tested it its predicted at a 60% to 70% success rate but only if the doctors can pinpoint the area causing the seizures. The reason they denied it is because the procedure is still considered experimental. They did approve her for open brain surgery, which is more invasive and more expensive, but not for this less invasive brain surgey done using a laser. I'm not sure if they could pinpoint the area causing her seizures, a major factor in getting the less invasive surgery, the article does not say.
