I was in a coma 8 weeks ago with lung and kidney failure and write this post only by the grace of God. I can assure you that I could not talk during my coma...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35130401.post-62357987491263732572008-05-31T15:39:00.000-04:002008-05-31T15:39:00.000-04:00Anonymous said... <BR/>Cooling a patient in the back of an ambulance? <BR/><BR/>What is so hard to believe about that?<BR/>It's what they did on Sept. 9, 2007 to Buffalo Bills Tight End, Kevin Everett when he was injured making a tackle at the start of the second half in the season opener.<BR/>They used iced saline to lower his body temp and it may have helped saved him from being a quadropelegic or even worse death.<BR/><BR/>Read the book "Standing Tall, the Kevin Everett Story", there is a chapter about this technique, which I found very interesting.STONEHENGEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08229778340954339273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35130401.post-64171375810770926592008-05-31T14:42:00.000-04:002008-05-31T14:42:00.000-04:00Amber was on heart/lung bypass, lungs filled with slurry - how was she able to speak when they woke her up? I think it is physically impossible to speak without breathing...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35130401.post-46462452385469849892008-05-31T13:21:00.000-04:002008-05-31T13:21:00.000-04:00I also noticed that. With Amber on the heart lung machine, they could have easily given her a blood transfusion, and if donors were available, kidney and heart transplants. Since when does House not investigate every possible way of saving the patient's life? This episode was inaccurate and overly dramatic.Leilahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13948126994367581744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35130401.post-1991021010295950752008-05-31T12:46:00.000-04:002008-05-31T12:46:00.000-04:00Does amantadine actually kill a person in such a manner as it did Amber? I will never take it anyway. This question I believe was not really answered in the article. IJ. K.

Like is it even remotely possible?<BR/>Cooling a patient in the back of an ambulance? Should the Tox screen find the Toxin? <BR/><BR/>Etc.. etc.. ETC!<BR/><BR/>ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
