His Eagle Eyes on Me

ECMO stood for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and it was a machine that was designed to be used on patients suffering from severe dysfunction of their hearts and lungs.

When the patient's lungs and heart could no longer function independently, the doctor would use an ECMO machine to help the patient circulate their blood and air.

The machine was meant to take the place of the heart and lungs. It helps keep the patient alive, but since it is an extremely expensive procedure, ordinary people would never be able to afford it.

Though Eric did not have to worry about the cost of such treatment, the treatment itself would be a challenging ordeal. The machine could be used to ensure the patient stayed alive, but he would not be able to open his eyes or talk like a living person if he were to rely on that machine.

Eric would be no better than a copse, and if Layla had known that, she would definitely have broken down.
