One must also relearn how to swallow and eat again after being on a ventilator. And you are a “choking risk” from then on.
While on it, you have to be fed intravenously and you feel like you are starving.
Only time I ever saw my dad cry.
Newly declassified evidence undercuts former DNI Clapper's testimony to Congress // This is getting moderately interesting. Will Clapper be flipped and throw the other weasels under the bus? https://t.co/0XxCpLlsCi— James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) May 12, 2020
Yah, I didn’t mean to get too graphic on this thread.
But what you say is true...AND MORE
I went into respiratory failure during surgery once and was put on a respirator. The surgery was supposed to be a two hour thing that turned into almost 8 hours. They kept me sedated for another 24 hours. When I came to I had the tube shoved all the way down my throat. It completely filled my esophagus. I was also restrained in the bed. My hands and arms were tied to the bed rail and mt legs were strapped to the bed. I honestly thought I'd been arrested and was in a camp somewhere!
After I came to I had to wait 4 hours to have the tube removed. Worst 4 hours in my life! From what I experienced having that tube removed, I can fully understand why a patient has to be under to insert one.
