Once you get admitted in the ICU it is hard as hell to get out of. So much more seems to go wrong in the ICU. The Doctors and nurses are use to the patients dying, and don't give it much thought. They often load you up on so many antibiotics, etc that it shuts your kidneys and liver down. Resulting in needing kidney dialysis forever.

In addition, it is not uncommon for the patients to gain 20 or so pounds a week. The Lasik does damage to your kidneys. They give this to lose the excess water in the body.

She should be in a hospital bed that automatically rotates so she doesnt get bed sores. In addition, they usually only give the heaviest people these beds.

She needs to get out of the ICU, and they need to transport her at their cost to a better hospital to treat her until she is discharged. Air flight is around 30k, A private ambulance is around 3 K dollars. Your insurance may pay for this if the hospital is considered an upgrade in their book, or at least equal.

Get the records, and get her to a better hospital asap.

You need to tell us what the Drs. name is so the wonderful internet searchers here can find out his history....

I spent two weeks watching a loved one be killed in the ICU. I learned a lot. Hardly no one ever left the ICU alive in the 2 weeks I was there 24 hours a day.
