He survived 48 hours without lungs and lived

A critically ill 33-year-old man survived an almost unimaginable scenario—living for 48 hours without lungs—thanks to a groundbreaking surgical approach. After a severe flu-triggered infection destroyed his lungs and caused multiple organ failure, doctors removed both lungs entirely to stop the spread of infection. In their place, they used a specially engineered “artificial lung” system to oxygenate his blood and keep his body functioning while he stabilized.

But surviving and living is just too far. This is just getting ridiculous.

Can you imagine what it would feel like to have no lungs? The complete inability to breathe? Like deeper than just a blocked airway.... Your chest moves up and down but nothing happens.

I'm sure they were out for it all tho
