It saddens me that may are gonna see this and think it's self inflicted consequences instead of the reality which is the state is failing to give them humane living conditions that aid their rehabilitation
Pat Tillman was murdered by his own men after making it clear he no longer supported what the American military was doing in the Middle East. He planned to come back and expose everything and the military had him killed for it. His family has repeatedly asked that the Army not use his name or photo for recruitment posters or propaganda yet they have continued to do so.
He did not support the crimes of our military and would be appalled to see his name has continued to be linked to it.
@burner1693878@ClownPoast The reason we say brain dead is bc ppl think that someone can be saved/is alive as long as their heart is “working”. Explaining neuro stuff in general to patients is difficult though so i can get why it feels redundant
Y’all are so ill informed it’s insane. His wife had AN EPIDURAL HEMATOMA after a severe ski accident. She was NOT in a vegetative state, she was BRAIN DEAD; there was literally no way to reverse her condition bc her brain literally BROKE
Liam Neeson says his wife last words to him were oh darling I’ve taken a tumble in the snow
‘She and I had made a pact of any of us got into a vegetative state we’d pull the plug so when I saw her and all these tubes that was my immediate thought, ok these tubes have to go she’s gone’
‘Sweetie you’re not coming back from this you’ve banged your head I don’t know if you can hear me but this is what gone down, we’re bringing you back to New York all your family and friends will come’
‘We donated three of her organs her hear her kidneys and her liver so she’s keeping three people alive at the moment I think she would be very thrilled by that’
@ChipCatterson Yes exactly, I didn’t have the word count to explain! I believe she lost consciousness but was fine afterwards and that’s why we recommend just going to the hospital anyway for observation at least in those situations bc brain bleeds can present like that
Wow okay didn’t expect this to blow up 💀. But for those who are interested in knowing what doctors are ACTUALLY taught (and not just what society thinks we’re taught), and what i mean by epidural hematoma.
@hcardb So brain dead means that there is no activity from your brain stem which is the part of the brain that controls breathing and consciousness. Once that goes away there’s no way to restore it; in a vegetative state you’re essentially sleeping
this is a good example of how population health cannot be secured individually
health cannot be a personal responsibility when the conditions for health do not exist
when you lack safe food, clean air, or clean water, individual choices cannot save you
