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.

I wonder if they were conscious at any point
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

I was okay with him surviving. But surviving and living is just too far. This is just getting ridiculous.
