I have seen this episode so any times and each time I watch my respect for Mark's Mum just grows. This lady is the epitome of a good Mum and I can see where Mark gets his fighting spirit from. The three ladies have a great friendship and they were funny.
Love all these episodes...there should be one of 'Where are they Now" with all the staff that appeared in the show and along all the patients...love this show
Oxygen test taking blood from your wrist {Artery) is brutal.That ingrate kid did not even say thank you once, to the beautiful nurse who was trying to help him.
I feel for marks mom.she is umazing to have to deal with marks severe condition.. his sister Evelyn is also umazing. . im bawling my eyes out right now
Omgggggg i can not believe that nurse said that to the poor mother and for her to also say it to her son that clearly knows whats being said is bloody cruel and absolutely absurd, what a stupid disgusting thing to say ,i hope that your reading this because you bloody dam well should be ashamed of yourself, your NO nurse !!!! God bless to the beautiful family ❤❤❤❤❤
I think it is necessary sometimes that the medical staff address this issue with the close family. I have the greatest sympathy with this poor mother because she has made caring for her son her main priority. He has been getting steadily worse and she needs to know that there comes a time when you have to realise that despite everyone's best efforts your loved ones suffering can't be prolonged any further. It would be best to let him go. There is no kind or easy way to say this.
Poor mom , makes me think when my son’s condition had gotten so bad . He died of complications of having DMD . He had gotten an infection in his lungs . He was 23 , Been 18 years ago .
The doctor who comes in to talk to Mark's mother, I feel went about it the wrong way. She was pushing for NFR, and it's not her decision. I understand medically she has to present the situation to the family, but she didn't ask what their wishes were.
@@dm607 for sure. About 4 years ago, my then 29 year old son, had MRSA and went into septic shock, then multi-organ failure. The doctors asked him that very question. He told them yes. He eventually ended up on a ventilator for a month. During that time, we almost lost him twice. Thankfully he pulled through.
From experience - you must know the battle to face it & fight! I was surprised at how much fight I had in me. My heart went in V-tac 4 times & I died, but came back to an uphill battle in ICU 10 days, but won! I just got 3 stents put in my heart, & am living my life! Full disclosure is the best way. Look - he fought back for 5 weeks & won that battle.💪
The nurse telling the mother of the son with MS what she should do and they shouldn't resuscitate etc is absolutely unacceptable! That is not how you have these conversations!!!! This us a life! Someone's child and she's so arrogant and cold. It's disgusting.
Are you a critical care nurse? What would you have Fran do -- give them false hope? These types of conversations are necessary because many patients and families have totally unrealistic concepts of what medical care and cannot do. I've been there with both my parents and also a close friend, and it's about hard but necessary statements. Fran didn't demand they give up, just that they should be aware of possible outcomes. But hey, you do you, Boo.
The actual saying is the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb. So friends can indeed before closer than the family you’re born into.
The mom of that young Ms patient is the best mom. So hard to watch your child progress in their disease.
Sister Jen!! What a fabulous nurse she is! What a fabulous person in general…!!❤
I adore Sister Jen! Mad respect for her!!!
Sister Jen-as one RN to another- my girl, you are the best❤

These "medical professionals" without a doubt do judge others. Guaranteed.

Why are you going all the way back to season 4? Yesterday you posted season 18 ep 10
It's new to me!😊 My sister has MS, & this one really got me.😢
The doctor who comes in to talk to Mark's mother, I feel went about it the wrong way. She was pushing for NFR, and it's not her decision. I understand medically she has to present the situation to the family, but she didn't ask what their wishes were.
That Dr. is very stupid. You DO NOT discuss no resuscitation in front of the patient.
Yes you do! Patients have every right to be aware of the situation no matter how good or bad it is.

@ So glad your boy got through it.❤
@dm607 thank you.

Very old episode.

He’d be in a mesh mask over his whole head in the states. You folks are as patient as saints.

and right in front of Mark who probably could understand every word
It sounds like Mark's MS is secondary progressive. He might have already told his mum what he'd prefer in certain situations.
Being put on a ventilator and kept alive when u have no hope of getting better is worse than any conversation said.
And she did a great job of telling them.

I prefer doctors telling about the DNR option. And no, family is still better than friends i think, as blood is thicker than water, in most instances.
The actual saying is the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb. So friends can indeed before closer than the family you’re born into.
What useless treatment these patients receive.
