The reason why my friend is in an induced coma is because of the ventilator. Apparently he was fighting it, it’s extremely uncomfortable. (Ya think)? They knock you out and insert ventilator, once awake, if you fight it, they will induce a coma. He’s been on it for a week now, and from what his wife told me, it’s not looking promising. The odds are against him. It’s pretty much come down to a higher being or a miracle...
As some background of how FU this virus is, he went to bed perfectly healthy and woke up 6 hours later “achy”. 2 hours later he complained that it felt like he had broken glass in his lungs. An hour later, he was quarantined in the hospital. A couple of hours later he’s in a coma. As bad as I feel for him I feel 1000x worse for his wife. She can’t see him, talk to him, say her goodbyes, nothing...
