Maybe the will to live does make a difference sometimes
But in general it makes absolutely no difference if somebody lives or dies
Especially somebody sedated on a ventilator, it's a straight battle between the virus and the body |  | | |

She's spot on.
So much nauseating cant and pious claptrap being spouted during this crisis - mostly from the right because they're scared of how grotesquely exposed the inequalities in the country become at times like this.
And, while I'm on it, I do not enjoy being press-ganged into participating in some nation-wide, self-deluding, sentimental slush-fest, choreographed by the likes of The One Show et al.
If I choose not to participate in this regular Thursday night clap-along I half expect to be shunned by the neighbours for years to come, or a few of them might even rap on my door at 8pm and demand to know why I'm not taking part. |
This. In spades... |  |

My wife was in ICU with Pneumonia and multi organ failure.iI was called into the office where the consultant stated there was nothing more they could do and she would probably pass away within 24 hrs.I went back to her bedside distraught only to be told by the nurse that she had worked on ICU for over twenty years and a patient's will to live is as important as the care they are given,some patients who should live die because they havent the will to survive and the reverse happens in people who should really die.
She said "I've got to know Lisa over the last few days, ,she's got spirit and having two young children everything to live for,don't listen to the the medical evidence im sure she will survive.
The next day she started to improve and left the hospital ten days later. |
