No but I had a buddy of mine woke up from his dental exam with a sore *** and chapped lips.

This is one of the reasons I miss the Paddock
This thread has potential !
I know it's not a competition, but the only thing I can compare to that is : waking up in the back of an ambulance after having broken my back.
hurting like hell & 18 years later ? back on my feet for years (now) and God willing, for the remainder of my stay here in the mortal realm.
Thank you, dear Lord, for saving an old wretch like me!
Amen !
Go Big Blue !

I'm actually not kidding. It's a memory that I wish I could wish away. I've never drowned but it think it's all of the crap parts of that.
Probably needed to be out good. Quadruple bypass.
I'm drinking so excuse me. 2 things stick out to me 2 years later. Waking up with that ******* thing down my throat.
I said this to a couple of people at work and I hope they didn't take it wrong because I am not suicidal but I said that falling down and cracking my skull open and dying didn't scare me but falling down and living scared the **** out of me. Backwards engineering it was a bleeding ulcer on my colon that made me pass out. It scares me if that wheelchair wasn't there to catch me.

Yeah, once. When I nearly bled out with my liver failure, one of my Dr's partners came to see me in the ER. (After the idiot Er Dr tried to get me to go home.)
He talked to me a minute then said he'd like to rule some things out with an endoscopy. I remember the OR, next thing I knew I woke up on a ventilator, with a tube down my throat. I had been in ICU for 3 days unconscious after surgery to stop hemorrhaging and put a shunt in my liver to reduce pressure.
It is zero fun waking up to that, confused out of your mind.
Yeah I hope I never have to have a tune down my throat. Sounds absolutely awful.
Due to a few things I've experienced in my lifetime I have told my family that I am never never never to be intubated for any reason. I would rather die and I am serious about that.
Mine was only for the surgery but I would hate to be actually aware of it but it does mess with you. It's one of those slow motion car wreck things. I can clearly remember her yelling "he's up" and I can remember seeing her run in and telling me to relax.
Besides my absolutely bad "gag reflex" I was with a friend in the hospital who was begging the medical personnel and family to remove the tube. It took an entire day but they finally did and she lived despite the warnings. Years later, against my better judgement, I allowed a close family member to be intubated. The procedure sent her into cardiac arrest and she never recovered. Due to a pre-existing condition, she should never have been intubated and according to our doctor, she would have recovered.
Having said all that, I am sure there are countless lives saved by being intubated and I have personally known many who have fully recovered from whatever tragedy happened to create the need to be intubated. I am very happy that you recovered and can share your experience.
It's difficult for most patients to be intubated while still conscious. That's why some patients are sedated until they are ready to be extubated.
Well, I woke up that way after my heart surgery and was fine until two nurses aides came and turned me over and the tube twisted. So there I was dying and signaling for help and a nurse telling me to relax because it was impossible for me to suffocate with that tube down my throat. They pulled it out when I started turning blue...on the outside(I'm already blue on the inside).
My understanding is that a vent f**ks your lungs up. A lot of people with Covid died because of unnecessarily being put on one. At that time hospitals were getting large reimbursements for putting patients on a vent so the financial incentive was there.
A vent does not fook up your lungs. It can save your life. While some may have been put on a vent that shouldn't, it probably wasn't done in mass quantities . COVID was new to everybody in the world. MDs were trying to save people's lives. I don't know of any MD that got a bonus for intubating someone or being pressured to intubate someone.
I've had fatty liver disease for a long time. Here's the problem, when we have "something" but it causes 0 symptoms, we tend to forget about it. I got that from a combination of being very heavy and drinking more than I should pretty often.
The thing that caused my hepatic pressure to skyrocket though was a covid medication. Paxlovid. People with any liver issues need to avoid that medication. It says so on the label. I didn't notice and my Dr didn't notice.
I'm still here though. I knew 3 other people who had almost identical liver issues and all 3 bled out. I've nearly assumed room temperature twice now. I guess I'm here for some reason.
Ha, sounds familiar.
Very different situations. Covid people put on vents were nearly dead to begin with. It was a Hail Mary but rarely worked. Being intubated on a vent for short periods and with generally stronger patients isn't that dangerous. It's just a problem when you first wake up.
