An friend who was diagnosed with COVID-1984 and hospitalized tells how a nurse saved him from possibly being killed by a ventilator that may well have exploded his lungs, as they have with so many others. The hospital had a bureaucratic rule that when a patient’s oxygen level goes below a certain number, he is put on a ventilator. One day the nurse came into the room and took the oxygen reading and said that is was a little low. The nurse advised his patient to take several very deep and very rapid breaths to increase his oxygen level a point or two. It worked, the nurse took a new measurement, and noted it on his chart.
My friend was ill for five days and has fully recovered.
