This is just one of the shots accompanying the article. The patient is probably on a heart monitor. Oxygen levels are monitored. Probably is on oxygen in one form or another. I hadn't thought about it but, that fuzzy white on the lower leg with the tubing is probably pulsing to keep the blood flow up in the legs to prevent blood clots. Up at the elbow is probably at least one IV line. Perhaps more than one. Below is my comment on the article. I'm still dong deep breathing excercises. The comment on Russian Roulet is an addition.
When I was a kid we all lined up for both polio vaccinces. We'd seen the wards full of iron lungs. Back in the day I've heard you couold SMELL the whooping cough ward before you arrived. Kids died of measles or were left with damage to their hearts or secondary infections. We almost lost one of my nephews to meningitis. He was eight months old at the time.
To those who sat by and watching this horror unfold and still didn't get vaccinated. I have a suggestion for you. If you come down with the virus sit down with a bottle of your choice and a revolver with a single bullet. You're already playing Russian Roulet. Might as well make it official. I am beyond sympathizing with your so called rights. refusal to take responsibility, and apparantly really not caring about anybody else. Ok. Ok. I'll take some deep breaths and calm down. But damnit all we didn't have to end up in this place and this time.
