a gift from heaven, a doctor that can see and feel the other side Of the sick bed. to help the patient and the faimily through the cycle of like, the transition to cessation of life.
Thanks for sharing! Incredible how fragile life is, and my grandmother had a different story when she was in her early 90s. My grandmother, who began to have dementia after starting a medication for myasthenia gravis, was living at an assisted living facility when she seemed sick with the flu/cold. (Weeks before, she had a blood test showing kidney index being low and showing signs of failing. The PCP said there is nothing that could be done.) After my aunt visited, my aunt took one last look at my grandmother from the door and saw my grandmother's face looking like she was asking my aunt not to leave. After calling and asking for advice from my mother, my aunt took my grandmother to the ED and was diagnosed with sepsis and her kidneys were close to being in the last stage. The ED physician and hospitalist said this would be the end, but the hospitalist ended up trying three bouts of antibiotics. My grandmother responded well to the last trial and ended up living for another 1.5 years. I cannot understand how she survived. We were looking at numbers online how older adults have less than a quarter chance of surviving sepsis.
@@medicinedeconstructedwithc4222 and I respect that! I think my expectations when seeing the title “organ failure” was an educational video breaking down what was happening to individual organs as they failed, which I imagine being complex and multi factorial. Perhaps a better title for this video would be “My experiences/emotions treating organ failure”? My expectations were a breakdown of what organ failure looked like from a pathophysiological perspective, but not at a biochem level. Vitals changing, fingers and toes not being perfused well, etc as well as mentioning the why behind it all. That would be awesome
People like you are a gift to humanity. Stay safe and well doctor.

Is organ failure painful? It seemed like he couldnt even tell it was happening..
very helpful thank you
Much less educational than I expected?
Yup. This was one of the first. 4 or so years ago. Tell me though, to help me and others, what would you have expected?
