17. If there was a doctor on board
and that was his/her diagnosis, oxygenation and forced diuresis would have been a possible treatment, quite likely someone had a bottle of Vitamin C, a known and effective diuretic, which could have been administered.

But the point was not whether her death was inevitable, which it might have been, but that they CHOSE to do little about it AND were negligent in not doing what they could (administering oxygen immediately and having TWO empty oxygen bottles on the plane, bottles clearly there for just such emergencies).
