Wrong Side

[Peter]

Hello,

One question:
Below, is an image is from the ALLBaisc forum.

The question is:
Why has the man his heart on the right side ?
He is seeing the Grim Reaper and is shocked to death.
His brief case falls to the ground  and causes an big bang.

Peter,

Despite what you might think about a correct location of cardiac muscle in the human chest, the man is clutching exactly at where it really is:






Get well soon and take care of your heart and lungs. We still need you here!

Mike,

Thank you for the image,  but my heart lies a little bit further left.
I would take my right hand.  
  
And thank for your the health comment, I think I am rather an obstacle to the programming.

Your heart is located behind your left lung. That is why your right lung has three lobes and the left only two. (room for the heart)

Here is an xray of a healthy person and my daughter's ICU x-ray 15 days into her H1N1 nightmare. Her lungs and plural space were filled with white blood cells 1000 times normal shooting blanks trying to kill the virus. Most H1N1 patients (1918/2009) gone critical died from drowning in their own body fluids before the virus could kill them. Current FDA approved (oral) anti-virals (Tamiflu, Relenza) are only effect within the first 48 hours detection. If your body can't fight H1N1, your luck has just run out. All your family will be left with is a HUGE medical bill. (ICU w/ventilator & isolation, 24/7 in-room nurse = avg. $15 K a day)  Athena spent 6 months in an ICU at these rates. (excluding CAT scans @ $6 K each and lab work on a near 24/7 basis) So you don't have to pull out the calculator, her medical bills are well over 3 million with ongoing rehab and care costs for sometime into the future.

The white in the image is fluids in her lungs and plural space.

Oh John,

I didn't mean to be so frivolous about things that matter(ed) so much in the lives of your family.

I am sorry.

P.S. I deleted my preceding message as inappropriate to the thread.

The scary part, no one is immune. H1N1 and it's variations killed 25 million in 1918 and just over 500 thousand in 2009/2010. GET YOUR FLU SHOT !!! (70% chance of this not happening to you)

H1N1 Flu Widespread in Idaho, 39 Other States

The virus is taking advantage of some of the nation's most vulnerable: 10 children died across the U.S. from complications of the flu last week, bringing the pediatric death total for the season to 20.

45 deaths confirmed from influenza this season in California. According to LA Times State epidemiologist Dr. Gil Chavez said “We have 45 confirmed and 50 under investigation — that’s 95 right there and we’re not even to the peak of flu season.”

Dallas County reports nine more flu-related deaths, bringing the toll to 35.

Default Case Fatality Rate for Hospitalized Cases

The following states both report the number of hospitalizations and are states where I have reasonable reports of fatalities. The CFRs for hospitalized cases in these states range from 1.82% to 9.82% and the average for all the states is 2.99%. I wish I could get the hospitalization data for California and Texas, but I haven't been able to. It seems that pH1N1 had a similar overall CFR for hospitalized cases in 2009 (close to 3%), with a CFR for ICU cases of ~10%. I don't know why the Michigan number is so high, but I would bet that CA and TX are higher than average as well.

State - Total Deaths - Total Hospitalizations - CFR in %

Arkansas - 22 - 600 - 3.67
Connecticut - 3 - 218 - 1.38
Iowa - 4 - 197 - 2.03
Michigan - 22 - 224 - 9.82
Montana - 3 - 165 - 1.82
Ohio - 25 - 1,233 - 2.03
Oklahoma - 12 - 399 - 3.01
Oregon - 14 - 408 - 3.43
South Carolina - 30 - 1,049 - 2.86
South Dakota - 5 - 115 - 4.35
Utah - 12 - 478 - 2.51

Total - 152 - 5,086 - 2.99

Google Flu Trends


More infected in fresh wave of China bird flu  If H7N9 spreads world wide, 1918 will look like a bad cold in comparison.


The experimental drug Peramivir that saved Athena's life is still not FDA approved and letting our children die. The U.S. government spent $192 million as a grant to have it developed and was given EUA status the day after Athena's NY Times article ran. Peramivir is already approved in many other countries and saving lives even though it was developed here and paid for by our tax dollars. This tragedy personifies the criminal activity going on between drug companies and protecting their patents at all costs. (our lives)

I am very glad Athena (beautiful name) pulled through.  My daughter, Sariah Renae, died back in '98.  From personal experience, there is nothing worse in life than the death of your child.

[JRS]

Cheating death doesn't go unnoticed. I lost both my parents and wife last year within 2 months of each other. Turning this nightmare around has been the biggest challenge I've ever faced.

Indeed.  Death or cheating death, both take their toll.
