A quick definition of life-sustaining procedure:

A life-sustaining procedure is a medical treatment that uses machines or artificial methods to keep someone alive when their body can't do it on its own. It's used to help restore or replace a vital function, but its main purpose is to delay death.

A more thorough explanation:

LIFE-SUSTAINING PROCEDURE

A life-sustaining procedure is a medical treatment that uses machines or artificial means to keep a person alive, restore a vital function, or replace it with an artificial one. The main purpose of this procedure is to delay death.

  • Artificial ventilation to help a person breathe
  • Feeding tubes to provide nutrition to a person who cannot eat on their own
  • Dialysis to filter waste products from the blood when the kidneys fail

These examples illustrate how life-sustaining procedures can help a person survive when their body is unable to perform a vital function. They are often used in critical care situations, such as when a person is in a coma or has suffered a severe injury or illness. However, these procedures are not always successful and may only delay the inevitable. It is important for individuals to discuss their wishes regarding life-sustaining procedures with their healthcare providers and loved ones in advance.

Anyone know how long it takes to get aid package after getting admitted to UChicago or Northwestern?
I’d ask in the t14 chat bc lol it may be a bit until you can get someone who can answer that question here

@syddak: Oof tough spot. Congrats on the As. Did either indicate either via email/mail that they would be following up with aid, and if so, did they provide a time frame? It may be acceptable to email them and indicate seat deposits are fast approaching and you are curious if you can expect further info (aid) from the school to aid u in ur decision..
