I tried to use the term “beyond eradication” in a report and it just doesn’t sound right.
Here’s the scenario: a patient needs treatment, but they’re part of a group than can’t receive certain treatments that may be harmful to them (they’re geriatric, a pregnant mother, or immunocompromised, for example).
My original sentence said, “Those infant, elderly, and immunocompromised patients will require alternative treatment if their illnesses have progressed enough to be beyond eradication by their own immune systems.”
I know the sentence itself has issues. I’m working on it. But right now I’m just looking for an alternative phrase/word for “beyond eradication.”
