If a person anywhere on earth goes on a ventilator they have less than a 1 in 5 chance of staying alive.
It's true that less than a 20% chance of staying a live is better than no chance at all.
But, it also means that if a person was put under before going on a ventilator that it is above an 80% chance that that moment of going under would be the last moment they would be conscious ever.
And I just thought people around the world would want to know this BEFORE this happened to them.
The other thing I was thinking about was how long does it take to recover from having tubes put into your lungs from the ventilator even if you do survive?
