If your car engine sprung a leak

The important part of draining off spinal fluid for Marie was not to over drain . I heard the doctor give the orders to one of the nurses. He didn't want to exceed a specific amount of fluid per hour. The nurses were supposed to monitor that output. Remember this procedure was administered because of the leak in Maries head.

At this point I had convinced myself that the area of the leak was a good candidate as the location that the infection may have entered Maries spinal fluid. As painful as the puncture was, the leak needed to stop and the hole had to be plugged. But messing around with the level of spinal fluid worried me.

Here is the way I think back on it now. If your car engine sprung a leak, and gasoline was coming out of the  top of the engine, that would be very dangerous. So you puncture the fuel line in order to let the gas out there. But you don't want the gas to come out to fast because your engine would stall. You would have to let only enough gas out, so enough would still get to the engine to keep your car running, but not enough to reach the top of the engine. Did you get all that.?
