and they had
a result like this,
1233
00:52:03,687 --> 00:52:07,524
any decent doctor
would have her in the ER,
1234
00:52:07,624 --> 00:52:10,827
hooked up to a transfusion
as quick as they possibly could
1235
00:52:10,927 --> 00:52:13,296
because this is
a life-threatening situation.

♪ ♪
1237
00:52:15,265 --> 00:52:18,034
We do a very quickand easy test
1238
00:52:18,135 --> 00:52:20,637
to see if the lungs float
in water or not.
1239
00:52:20,704 --> 00:52:22,139
They're supposed to float
in water
1240
00:52:22,205 --> 00:52:24,007
because they're supposed
to be filled with air.
1241
00:52:24,107 --> 00:52:26,376
So you just fill a bucket
with water.
1242
00:52:26,476 --> 00:52:28,178
You take a little section
of the lung,
1243
00:52:28,278 --> 00:52:30,947
dump it in the water,see if it floats.
1244
00:52:31,014 --> 00:52:34,518
We took a sectionfrom every lobe of the lung,
1245
00:52:34,618 --> 00:52:36,887
three of them sank.
1246
00:52:36,987 --> 00:52:40,490
So this tells us we've gota severe pneumonia going on.
1247
00:52:40,557 --> 00:52:42,192
This was not something
1248
00:52:42,292 --> 00:52:45,028
that she just got
a day or so before.
1249
00:52:45,128 --> 00:52:49,199
She was walking around
with this for some time.
1250
00:52:49,299 --> 00:52:52,302
The third thing wasthe toxicology test.
1251
00:52:52,369 --> 00:52:55,739
She had no evidence of alcohol
1252
00:52:55,839 --> 00:52:59,176
or any drugs of abuse
in her system.
1253
00:52:59,242 --> 00:53:02,345
She had all prescription
1254
00:53:02,412 --> 00:53:05,549
and over-the-countermedications.
1255
00:53:05,649 --> 00:53:08,251
The anemia in itselfwould've been fatal,
1256
00:53:08,351 --> 00:53:09,753
even without the pneumonia.
1257
00:53:09,853 --> 00:53:11,254
The pneumonia was fatal.
1258
00:53:11,354 --> 00:53:13,390
And then you're adding this
to the equation.
1259
00:53:13,490 --> 00:53:16,193
This could be the straw
that breaks the camel's back.
1260
00:53:16,259 --> 00:53:20,263
In the end, I called themain cause of death pneumonia
1261
00:53:20,363 --> 00:53:22,699
and thencontributory factors--
1262
00:53:22,766 --> 00:53:24,935
I put the iron deficiencyanemia.
1263
00:53:25,035 --> 00:53:27,737
She probably had
her resistance lowered
1264
00:53:27,837 --> 00:53:29,739
because
of the very severe anemia,
1265
00:53:29,839 --> 00:53:31,575
then this pneumonia
comes along,
1266
00:53:31,675 --> 00:53:33,109
and it tips the scales.
1267
00:53:33,210 --> 00:53:36,680
If she had gotten
to a hospital early enough,
1268
00:53:36,746 --> 00:53:39,950
you can detect a pneumonia
on the chest X-ray.
1269
00:53:40,050 --> 00:53:42,085
It's very easy to do.
1270
00:53:42,185 --> 00:53:44,921

started treatment.
