the drama here is not about the thing per se, but about the fear to end with a new disability. Syringomyelia on a complete spinal chord injuries is something different. Plus the drama here is about the girl not having the mental streng to support all the process
This is syringomyelia. I live with it. It is not a death sentence and you can live with it. It can be miserable at times and can make you feel like you're passing out at times, but it's not as dramatic as this makes it out to be. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/syringomyelia/symptoms-causes/syc-20354771
