It’s right there in front of you, and yet you cannot understand.
For example, when the prosecuter asked about bladder rupture, the doctor said it was unusual. Why? Because way before that happened, the pain would be intense enough that the patient would come in and get treated.
In the same manner, infection is a possibility, but again the pain would usually lead to treatment, so that was the big thing.
You act as if people are born with a catheter. Your statement is that because he recieved treatment, his injury wasn’t life-threatening. That’s like saying that my father’s heart condition wasn’t life-threatening because they caught it and treated it before it killed him.
Even if you can’t see your illogic, I hope others can, but given the audience I have serious doubts.
How would Davila empty his bladder if he didn’t have a catheter? He wouldn’t. If he didn’t, what would happen? potential Renal failure. Note also the doctor’s use of the term “over THAT period of time”. The doctor assumes that eventually, the pain would drive the patient to treatment, and therefore indicates a “period of time” he thinks it’s possible they would go without treatment. If the patient NEVER got treatment, they would die, it’s not just a “possibility”, but the doctor cannot imagine a patient not getting treatment at some point.
The injury was life-threatening. Treatment was necessary to remove the life-threatening risk caused by the injury.
The infection was not considered as serious a risk since again there was the time issue related to the pain that would be caused by a full bladder.
Your continued insistance that the injury was not life-threatening, or that the doctor didn’t say the injury was life-threatening, is incorrect.
It wasn't. The catheter was (which was done in Mexico, long before he even had contact with U.S. authorities).
It's that simple.
Did he have renal failure? Was he denied a catheter, a simple medical procedure most often performed by nurses in the U.S.? Did he not have the catheter put in immediately following his injury, thereby eliminating any risk of renal failure?
Don't bother responding. If you won't see the difference after 100 posts, you never will.
