Section 8 — Patient decision page
Tonicvia does not select a hospital or treatment for the patient. The patient should discuss the information with licensed treating clinicians and make their own decision.
The report closes with the open-question list, the evidence status of every field, and the next coordination steps the family has asked Tonicvia to take.
