...is an 81 year old lady who is on triple inotropes (medication to bring up your blood pressure) of which all three are already on maximum dose, yet the blood pressure remains below 100 and whose Ryle's tube (tube from the stomach coming out through the nose or mouth) is pouring out dark brownish material.

Hmmm.
