In two if the three studies a third of the people who survived were able to come off ventilation. It’s not a panacea as the article says, but I suspect without ventilators the death rate would be more like 100%, and I’ll take my chances with 1/3 versus 0 any day.
I think I’d personally rather die than go through that but that’s just me.
You'd rather die than spend a week or two sedated on a ventilator? I don't feel the same.
Now is the time to put that in writing so that somebody else might get your ventilator.
Yup, it's in writing here.
That's not unreasonable. Being intubated, by all accounts, sucks. A lot.
