   A friend of mine is struggling with her partner’s casual attitude to their son’s sickness. His oxygen reading was 90-92, and he still didn't let her take the child to the ER. She quickly gave him a nebulizer to bring his oxygen back to 97.

   But what bullshit is this? I wish there were a woman code where we could use a secret code where doctors and nurses know that one of the parents is not supportive. :/

   They are finally at an urgent care. For now, I asked her to ask doctors for suggestions on what to do in various scenarios so that her partner would not stop the proper treatment.

     @squaremoon One thing I've run into with this sort of thing is that doctors just. won't. provide. clear. written. guidelines. they want to tell you verbally. and they want all sorts of caveats and judgment calls in there. which leaves so much room for non-supportive family members to block. or even supportive people to just not know what to do.
