the harrowing tale of the brave covid patient and his wife who defied conventional wisdom and survived the ICU and beat covid and lived to tell about it in a gofundme that will ever stand as a monument to one man's determination to defy conventional wisdom and survive the ICU and beat covid as they boldly go forth and get funded? or something like that.
actually, i was kind of winging it there but you can use it as needed.
Uh, no.
I've spent the better part of the past 2 years taking care of these patients in the ICU, from the time they get intubated til the time they die.
<30% survive COVID in the ICU, so there are very few people that live to tell about it.
That makes his perspective on his time there somewhat unique.
I think he really nails the COVID ICU experience, something few people are able to do.
I expected a lot understandably ignorant babble like you hear/read from most ICU sickies who were there for whatever reason but it was actually the opposite.
I'm far from a heartwarming/uplifting/sensitive guy so could give two fucks about any inspiration because I don't get inspired by medical perserverance.
As for the people shitting on the guy
I don't know anything about his thoughts on anything related to COVID or vaccines or whatever, nor would I care.
Why would I?
Much illness is related to poor choices - drug abuse, smoking, diet, lifestyle etc...
"They made their choice/shoulda known better so fuck 'em" (?)
Maybe he's a piece of sh!t IRL, I dunno.
Like I said, my only reason to top this thread is I thought he really nailed it in the first half hour.
