Nurses thought it was serious


Explanation:
The nurses thought that what he had was serious and needed attention.

To me, it only refers to the severity of the disease rather than the overall situation.

Evaluated his condition as severe


Explanation:
Upon examining, taking his medical history and witnessing his symptoms, they realized he was about to die and noticed how bad his condition was.
In short, his situation was a mess and the medical crew was on the alert for any possible sudden deterioration in his situation.

agree  philgoddard: I don't like appending my name to these deranged Trumpian conspiracy theories, and the asker should be ashamed for having anything to do with them. But you're right, and you've actually watched the video.

neutral  Daryo: Sounds too dramatic compared to the ST. Like when a non-haemophiliac starts crying "I'm dying" for a cut finger.
