Words from the Pope during Holy Week that fit Ferret's call for doing good:

“The tragedy we are experiencing summons us to take seriously the things that are serious, and not to be caught up in those that matter less; to rediscover that life is of no use if not used to serve others. For life is measured by love,” Francis said on Sunday. 

“May we reach out to those who are suffering and those most in need. May we not be concerned about what we lack, but what good we can do for others,” he said.

I am  ignorant about life support system but U just found out that my brother was on a ventilator and a ecmo  machine I guess, It sounds like the equivalent of the dyalysis where the blood is being oxigenated outside of the body  as the respirator is not enough.. I wonder how much of those they will need as well when it s all over.. catherer gets put in in one of the artery and the blood is circulating outside of the body and oxignated and put back in the body with another tube.. In order to do that you need to be in lots of blood thinner, too little blocks the system and  with too much you can hemorrage..That wonderful system has a flaw as it can be infected with staphilococs pretty easily, which it did.. .besides that they say his  lungs are improving so if the hospital does not kill him he may come out of it.. Of course the longer you are on the respirator and the more chances you have  to damage your organs . His are good so far.. but If it takes that much work to save one person imagine what will happen in Mexico...
