Quote:Jeff was admitted to the hospital because he had cancerous tumors all over his fucking body, his lungs were filling with fluid, and if he was not admitted, he. Would. Die. For some reason, Medical Reviewer Layma Jarjour MD decided that this was not "medically necessary."
If putting someone into the hospital to save their life because their lungs are filling with fluid and that person will die if they are not treated immediately is not "medically necessary", what is?!
Miserable fucks.
The question is if his body is covered with tumor, how long would he live even if he is treated immediately?
If he would live 5 more days but the treatment would cost 100,000 dollars, I would agree the treatment should not be given, although I would not have so clumsily said it was "unnecessary". I would have said it was "useless" or "unjustified".
