Maybe that hike wouldn't have been possible but it wasn't a particularly large suspension of disbelief for me. season 3 Emma spoilersI thought it was much harder to believe that any hospital would move someone up a donors list for a mere $20,000. Like, that's some serious medical ethics being broken for not that much money
I'm just saying it's pretty much physically impossible. I'm not on oxygen and hiking through the woods is difficult. If your lungs are deteriorated enough with CF that you need oxygen, you just don't have the ability to go hiking through the woods. Especially running!

as for the spoiler (SPOILER)I actually find this more realistic because it probably happens all the time. Even though you're right, serious medical ethics there. But yeah, probably not for 20k.

I only watched a few episodes into the first season, so I can't say how she is past that. It just bugs me.
