Italy, Doctors Are Having To Decide Who Lives / Dies

[shocks]

Coronavirus: 'We must choose who to treat,' says Italian doctor

www.brusselstimes.com

"Salaroli said that the emergency is so big in Italy that he and his colleagues must now select the patients who will or will not be able to access mechanical resuscitation (by intubation) from among the most seriously ill. Patients with viral pneumonia, and are in acute respiratory failure, are first placed on non-invasive ventilation (NIV), using an oxygen mask.

“It’s a first step, but after a few days, we have to choose. Since there is, unfortunately, a disproportion between hospital resources, resuscitation beds and critically ill patients, not everyone can be intubated,” Salaroli said. “We decide based on age and state of health,” he added.

“If a person between 80 and 95 years old has severe respiratory failure, it’s likely we will not go ahead. If they have multi-organ failure, with more than two or three vital organs, it means that their mortality rate is 100%,” he added."

Transplant from where?

Where are the fresh ones coming from?

People who have died of other causes.

That one case is enough evidence they are capable of doing it.

A body ravaged by the virus has a very compromised immune system. Would it withstand the rigours of accommodating strange cells from another body?

And for the body to accept foreign tissues doctors prescribe drugs that lower your immunity, I don't know how this would work

I don't blame them, if you have ever worked in an institution where your resources determine your service, you can understand why these doctors resort to this plan.
