There’s people that while they don’t specifically need certain medication to survive, it makes life a whole lot easier for them. I’ve never had a grand mal, thank god, but I take anti-seizure medication for primary generalized epilepsy. If I just stop taking it, then I’m at good risk of having a ‘real’ seizure.
There’s other people that do dialysis. How are they going to get the fluid? Those people would only have a few weeks, and they would be suffering through them.
Agreed. I have an epileptic in my family, and that would be rough, especially the transition away from medication. As for dialysis, kidney failure would be fatal without power.
