Removed from the blood vessels leading into the lungs. At least for that lung, he can huff and puff all he wants, but not much oxygen exchange taking place.
Net effect (suffocation), hardly distinguishable. With COPD the problem is on the airway side, clot in lung vessels (Pulmonary Embolism) on the blood side. Treatments differ and PE patients often have a lot of pain. In the ER they have to figure it out, quickly. I have seen patients die while they were in this process. From that picture, I'm surprised he made it to the hospital.
That’s true. Yea I find these clot stories so crazy it’s almost fake buuuut…what do I know. I’m not gonna run around telling people about this one. Unless I see it come out of someone’s body I’m filing it under most likely fake
Not sure how he was still breathing with that jammed in his lungs.

Like COPD on steroids I'd imagine.

Thanks for the info. I'm a nurse, but have seen way more COPD than PE (never). I get the anatomical differences, but have not seen a patient with PE.
That makes rhe most sense now that I think about it.
Blood side vs Airway side is also a big reason why ventilators were not helpful for covid; the blood vessels in the lungs were clotting up.
Exactly. I wonder how HQC/Quinine/Ivermectin & Zinc prevent those proteins from combining. A whole new level of fascination has opened up in me.
Im pretty sure he has two lungs.
