IV hydration?
That sounds risky.
I have heard from reliable sources that the ARVN’s used this procedure.
Hypovolemic shock or... your call.
“coconuts, conch and rats “
That’s like a Wacky Foodies sustainable master meal, soon to show up on the Food Network.
Maybe Ole Rach will call it Delish’?
FWIW - Ginger maybe for a night, Mary Ann for the duration.
I bet they had no digestive issues as coconut water is a diuretic. I can’t stand coconut so I’d have had to have extra rats and conch. I love conch!

In my misspent youth, any female >30, was in the >100 set.
Do you think they boiled it first?
You’re right. If you can’t ingest hydration and you’re on the edge, you gotta do what you gotta do. I’m just surprised. That’s a triage decision I wouldn’t have considered.
“ In my misspent youth, any female >30, was in the >100 set”
I MY misspent youth, I dated a 35yo when I was 20. It was AMAZING.
That’s the one!
“Do you think they boiled it first?”
I have never personally witnessed the procedure.
That said, it is all about time, that ‘golden hour’ only lasts a few minutes, if that long.
I had seen a photo,I don’t believe was fake? Pre photoshop.
And it was not the focus of the photo.

...A photo in a medical journal shows a coconut hanging from an IV stand with a standard blood transfusion tube attached. And really, coconut water isn’t all that much like plasma. But generally speaking, coconut transfusions are legit...
Emergency coconut IVs were reportedly used by the British and Japanese during World War II, and they’ve been clinically tested on humans several times to see how well they’d be tolerated. Answer: overall, pretty well.
“I MY misspent youth, I dated a 35yo when I was 20. It was AMAZING.”
When I was younger if we struck out with girls our age and needed “relief” we went to the cougar bars. Made many older woman feel young again for the night.

Subtraction is your friend.
ya need something to flush the rats out of your bowels.
A sociologist decided to study the manners of three nationalities, so he rented three deserted islands and hired two man, one woman teams to live there for three months with sufficient life sustaining materials.
He went back and found the three Brits sitting at opposite areas of the island. "What's wrong?," he asked. "We haven't been properly introduced," they replied.
He then checked on the island with the Italians. They all seemed happy and explained life was easy in the tropical clime and the men just alternated nights sleeping with the woman.
Next stop was the Russian island. Things were not going so well here. The men had figured out how to ferment coconut milk and were passed out in a drunken stupor. The woman was doing all the work just trying to keep everyone alive.
She has the millions ... 😀
"You may open your baskets...NOW."
Coconut fed rats are mighty tasty,and coconut water is a natural source of electrolytes, and perfectly safe to drink, though it might raise your potassium levels a bit.
sounds like menu items for moocheal obummer’s netflix show...
If they reboot Gilligan’s Island, the Skipper would be a pedo, Gillian would be a 16 yo boy, The millionaire would be a nerd, his wife would be a trans, the Movie star would be a global warming activist, the Professor would be a LIBERAL anti American and Mary Ann would be cast as a Conservative nut case..
