My mother was suffering from diahorea results into fluid loss and electrolyte imbalance. Doctor don't give iv fluids resulting into severe electrolyte balance and arrhythmias. That latter results into actue heart failure and pedaller edema. Without stabilizing heart now he started ns and rl in RL he mixes ceftriaxone (contradiction because risk of presipitations) which results into abdominal and actue plumonary edema ultimately hypoxia and cardiac arrest. All this whithout ECG and Supliment oxygen. My mother could be saved if has as experienced as you.
