She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse — the woman's medical history communicates her desperation: the suffering is long-standing, the resources are exhausted, the professional interventions have failed and made things worse. Suffered under many doctors — the ancient medical treatments for gynecological conditions were frequently painful, expensive, and ineffective. Spent all she had: she is financially ruined by the treatment costs. Grew worse: the treatments have not merely failed but have worsened her condition. She has no resources, no improvement, no hope from the human medical system.
