Thank you. Well, the way I understand it: her treatment history won’t be considered by any other doctor than her own. The reason for that is that she wasn’t part of a proper medical study.

However, I believe there is value in her data. The last days she was treated with an experimental drug. If there was an open database on all cases with treatment history I could have looked into that and get a feeling what to expect. These things often come with huge side effects, so you want to do it only if there is a slight chance.

Also, if this data was collected globally, the number of reference cases would be much larger.
