3. In her mind she couldn't afford a doctor

Since she thought she had to tough it out to save money, it was not a choice she would have made
Voluntarily if she thought she had money to pay a doctor and the meds he would give her she wouldn't have lost fingers and toes to strep if she was not struggling to make ends meet already.

It was not an actual choice she would have chosen if she had options like enough money to go to the doctor,or decent insurance.
Had nothing to do with her lifestyle.
She was doing what she thought she had to do.


I'm just glad she survived it.
