That advice works for recovery and prodromal. A stage 2 bout of mass exodus of all liquids and materials in your body by perfuse sweating, vomiting and liquid shitting, does not apply to being easily curable by yourself. Which is why people die of dehydration, due to Chs, because no one finds them when they’re passed out and dying in the shower. Like me before my wife just so happened to get home early. Trying to sound as Un combative as possible because nobody needs to read that and actually think they can hydrate themselves in a severe bout. You can negotiate an er bill and the er has to take you anyway if you’re in severe shape. That’s how it works. Nobody actually understands how hospitals in AMerica work. What’s more important, a bad credit score because you got discharged and didn’t pay the bill they mailed you, or dying because your stage 2 bout was a snake eyes roll and you’re fucked.
