I'm not making any assumptions.

  I don't understand what you're doing. For more clarity, I'll change my statement to >So, unless you die, if it cut hospital time, it would improve survival.

    That doesn't makes sense to me, it can make recoveries faster, while still making dying faster or slower, and still have the same mortality. They are all independent consequences

      Every day that you are in critical condition carries a relatively high risk of death. Beyond that, hospitals are full of other diseases, and staying in one when your immune system is already taking a beating is dangerous. The drug may have some negative effect on the chance that you'll die each day, but it is unlikely that the effect would be strong enough to prefer spending more time in critical condition. And getting cured faster will allow your immune system to be more able to fight off other risks.

    >So, unless you die, if it cut hospital time, it would improve survival. Maybe that's what usually happens. It's not hard for me to imagine that it could improve survival for some, but has fatal side effects for some percentage. The numbers could be arranged so that survival doesn't change but average hospital stay is lower. Is this the case? Probably not, but I have no idea.
