German term or phrase: nur
Hi,

This is from a social worker's expert report on a German family that is going through all sorts of situations.

DE:
Mit ihrem Therapeuten sei abgesprochen, dass eine medikamentöse Behandlung nicht notwendig sei, nur ein Medikament im Akutfall zur Verfügung stehe.

Is this the same as

DE?
Mit ihrem Therapeuten sei abgesprochen, dass eine medikamentöse Behandlung nicht notwendig sei, ein Medikament nur im Akutfall zur Verfügung stehe?

I am not quite sure where the emphasis is here and this emphasis might actually influence the intended meaning.

You can answer in German.

Thanks,

Explanation:
The only time medicine would exclusively be available is in an absolute emergency. Other than in a "matter of life and death" situation absolutely no medicine will be available.

The emphasis is on no emergency, no medicine.

Explanation:
Da der Kontext klar ist, ergibt sich meiner Meinung nach kein Bedeutungsunterschied, ohne Kontext wäre das anders. Schönes Hochdeutsch ist die zweite Variante.
