I know for a fact that if the power company knows that you have a medical need for electricity (doctor's notification required) that they will not cut the power off. If this poor lady had any kid of family they would have paid her bills.

Oxygen tank powered by electricity? I’ve seen lots of them and none of them were electric powered.

I agree. Poor planning by the family.

Good grief, go to the neighbors, use an extension cord

That was another thought I had. All the ones I have seen are either rechargeable or just a tank with a regulator.
family is seeing dollar signs.

No, they exist. My father-in-law, God rest his soul, had one in his last days. Unlike oxygen tanks, they don’t run out of oxygen - I think it processes the air or something.

Why did the family not pay? Why did the family not move her to one of their places?

Never heard of an ambulance? 911? Something missing here.

“Oxygen tank powered by electricity? I’ve seen lots of them and none of them were electric powered.”
Must have been quite a big tank too, if it took a week before it emptied.

That is an oxygen concentrator, or generator. No tank involved.

The media calls it a tank but it’s probably a small oxygen generator with a small reserve...not a big tank.

I’m bad. I shouldn’t think this.
But I wonder if the family withheld Grandma’s condition knowing that if PG&E cut off the power, and she died - they would win the lawsuit lottery.
I mean, what other reason could their be for this info to be undisclosed?

Oxygen generators are powered by electricity.
