according to how serious

[gigilafrancha]

hi, could you tell me if that sounds all right:

they receive such treatment according to how serious their constipation is.

thainks a lot...the context if someone wants to know is constipation treatment and a GP is speaking

I think that works, but I think you get rid of "such". Such refers to a single treatment that was mentioned before, and the rest of the sentence implies that there are various treatments.

ok thanks, could you say
'such and such treatment'
to refer to an indefinite, to any treatment?

 

[vachecow]

I would either get rid of the "such" altogether or say,
they receive various treatments

 

[gigilafrancha]

ok thanks a lot!!

They receive treatment according to the severity of their constipation.
