We Almost Ended Pope Francis’ Pneumonia Treatment So He Could Die In Peace – Doctor

Pope Francis was so close to death during his weeks-long hospital stay to the point that doctors considered ending his pneumonia treatment so he could just die in peace.

The head of his medical team, Sergio Alfieri recently revealed this to the press, and the world has been reacting.

According to him, it was the pope’s personal nurse, Massimiliano Strappetti, who urged the medical team to keep up the treatment in the wake of the vomiting episode.

He added that the hospital was actually risking damage to his kidneys and bone marrow by continuing his treatment, but they went ahead.

His words, “There was a real risk he might not make it.

We had to choose if we would stop there and let him go, or to go forward and push it with all the drugs and therapies possible, running the highest risk of damaging his other organs.

In the end, we took this path.

She said, Try everything, we won’t give up. That’s what we all thought too. And no one gave up.

For days, we were risking damage to his kidneys and bone marrow, but we went ahead — and his body responded to the drugs and his lung infection lessened.

I saw him leave the room on the 10th floor of the Gemelli dressed in white.

It was the emotion of seeing the man become again the pope.”

WOW.
