From all I have read, he did not order the *medical staff* not to give her anything by mouth. I know they are usung moistening swabs.

Is the use of moistening swabs the same as "giving something by mouth," medically speaking?

He said ice chips. They would not make her any more comfortable than moistening swabs, in fact, worse. It would not maintain her - just possibly choke her and might make it last longer.

Not that I could resist trying if i were there.
