A Chance At Life! Coral's Story

Coral is a 19 year old struggling with an eating disorder as many are.  23 people a day die as a result of an eating disorder every day and Coral should not be one of those 23. Coral is currently in Ottawa General Hospital in Canada fighting for her life.  She is extremely ill and deserves a chance to live. Her doctor's have stated that they are no longer willing to care for Coral and after a 5lb weight gain she will be discharged into her parents care to die. Can you imagine your child who is unable to eat and being discharged because the doctor's are not willing to their job and help your child? This is exactly the case for Coral  This is unacceptable and unethical.  If a patient is in a doctor's care they are responsible for the well being of the patient. With Eating Disorders without proper nourishment the cognition is very low until the patient starts to reach weight restoration.

Below is her mother's story

If a heart patient walks into the hospital with chest pains would you deny the patient heart surgery? If a cancer patient needs chemotherapy for a chance to live would you deny them the care they need for a chance at life? The same applies to eating disorders. With proper treatment eating disorders are able to have an outstanding recovery rate.
