I’m sure it was a misunderstanding in education regarding how soon you’d die without dialysis. That or she’s refusing. In truth she wouldn’t likely die in that short of timeframe even without dialysis. But I figure that’s the hard deadline the doctors gave her to decide before she starts experiencing significant problems that may preclude her from changing her mind. I’m not a fan of the fact that even the BBC ran this story uncritically.
It sounds like she got a case of Rhabdomyolysis from getting so bruised up. Hard to say how bad it really was. Rare to have that happen with relatively minor blunt trauma but not unheard of.
