I've seen what meningitis can evolve into twice. One was a young man (19) who survived meningitis induced sepsis. He was back on a plastic surgery/trauma ward and had already gotten several skin grafts, had one leg amputated below the knee, lost fingers on one hand and parts of the other hand. Wounds were healing extremely slowly, had to bedded in a special mattress. But he was eventually released to go on rehab, get further wheelchair training etc. The other case was just shown to me as photos from the file. Young girl, 17, currently in icu. They had to slice open her legs due to pressure build up in the tissue threatening to cut off its own blood supply. She was basically laying there with her legs opened like one would do to debone meat but wounds packed with gauze. Another set of pictures was taken in the ER. Pictures of a guy who was hit by a car. One leg amputated during the accident and just missing below the knee. Tourniquet applied. Other leg had the knee intact but was shredded to pieces below that point. Also tourniquet applied. In that case it was quite obvious why he was alive: vigorous first responders and the decision to include actual tourniquets in the equipment lists of civilian ambulances.
Is Mainly facts okay? I miss his daily uploads they were a huge thing i looked forward to every day ;; i hope hes taking care of himself if he needed a break
Is everything alright with Mr. Facts? Theres been a lot of older videos reuploaded, and he's stopping having his face on. No problem with that, just want to know if he's ok
My Grandpa fell down a mine shaft back in the day. (think the 70s) He fell approximately 80ft down the shaft and right into a pile of metal scraps in a bin. Managed to survive it despite the doctors sure he'd die due to the circumstances Witnesses say that he had one shot to hit the bullseye or else he was good as gone. He hit that bullseye. He just celebrated his 83rd birthday and only needed a hip surgery as a senior. Guy is a walking miracle and we all are thankful for it!
There is this guy, who was almost killed in a tractor accident at the age of 9. His Name is Ron Gustafson, and he wrote a book about the incident, Titled _Fully Armed: Turning A Setback Into A Comeback_ . Has anyone heard of him?
Not a Dr, but my dad just told me this thing that happened to him 15+yrs ago and I gotta tell somebody or else I’ll loose my mind because of how insane it is. When I was like 7-8ish I think, my dad, in his late 20’s, got pneumonia, was prescribed antibiotics and sent home. No problems until he started getting extreme stomach pain to the point he was bed ridden. He went back to the drs three separate times in a week to see what was going on but was told that nothing was wrong and was sent home each time. Only a bath could even slightly help with the pain now and he went back a fourth and final time. The dr finally mentions some extra test that can be performed, but was advised against it, saying it would just be money down the drain and was going him sent away AGAIN when my dad stood his ground and said something along the lines of “No doc, something is very wrong with me and you will do extra tests to figure it out.” The dr reluctantly agrees to do extra tests, saying nothing is going to change the results. A$$butt most likely thought my dad was out for drugs or something. When the results came back, the dr gets a few nurses, says “Get this man prepped for surgery immediately.” And leaves to get other things ready for emergency surgery. Turns out my dad just so happened to have appendicitis at the same time as the pneumonia but something with the pneumonia meds made it impossible to detect in the regular tests or something along those lines. (Told you I’m not a dr, so have no idea how to explain it) When my dad woke up, he was told he was lucky to be alive because his appendix was hours away from rupturing and LITERALLY FELL APART on the surgery table after they took it out of his body. Whether it was the same dr who performed the surgery, I don’t know, or care. Yes, it was coincidental that he had both pneumonia and appendicitis, but I don’t care what anyone says, it shouldn’t have taken that long to be offered extra tests to figure out what was going on! My father wouldn’t be here now if he didn’t demand more measures be taken to figure out what was going on with him, my mother would’ve been a widow in her late 20’s with four children to raise on her own and my three younger siblings and I wouldn’t have such an amazing man in our lives, let alone remember anything about him. It’s better to overreact than under-react when it comes to your health and safety. Period. Dad said that dr retired early a few years later and was told he was a real jerkwad anyway, so that might explain some things.
oh! i see one i know! when i was in my 20s (before i was a nurse), i went in and my h&h was 7 & 7. (normally 3-4 times that). this was also due to heavy mensuration, like the op. i didn't get blood, but they said if i hadn't been sitting up and talking, they said they would have. i took LOTS of iron for like a year i've had an IUD every since. i went in for fatigue.
When I was 17, I volunteered at a general hospital’s emergency room. One “slow” weekend, a man was escorted into our surgical section with a 6-inch bitterfly knifestuck in the crown of his head. He was telling how his friend stabbed him after a drunken argument. I couldn’t remember what the details were because my mind was stuck on the knife buried to the hilt in his skull. He was conscious and all though
icu nurse here - potassium of 9.7 is inconsistent with life. the highest i saw was 8.3 and they...did not make it. wt actual f. also - why are we doing "s*xtuple" it's sextuple. like....a number.... there is no spicy time implied there! ETA: never seen a cranial herniation that didn't end in death. wow. but, i guess that's the title of the video....
I can tolerate most mispronunciations, but the way you pronounced Lebanon, where each phone was *technically* correct, but the syllables are accented wrong just... drives me so irrationally mad. Like, as a non-native English speaker, I've always heard Lebanon being pronounced with the non being the most accented one, and even then, the gap between it and le and ba is far smaller than that your BA has compared to the le and non. I'm sorry for focusing on this, especially since this was otherwise a fine video like most others I've watched for you over the past... idk, probably year or more by now?... but it's just... The descriptivism leaving my body when I hear people pronounce Lebanon as le-BA-non

I don't think this is necessarily a reupload I was just wondering
It feels so weird not seeing his face in videos.
We are having the same worries. Mr. Facts used to upload videos everyday, or even multiple times a day!
@@yobii165 like I obviously don't mind if a creator needs a break, I just hope he's ok
If y’all are talking about mostly facts dude then he’s back and well. I know mainly facts took over his channel while mostly took a break

The dudes from Story 8-9 took the "𝗢𝗵, 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲, 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘆 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹" statement to a whole other level ☠️

My best friend had his neck broken in the army, c1 fracture I think. Even the VA can't kill him.
