INTUBATION EQUIPMENT FOR EMERGENCY USE AT HOME?
Strange things happen when we live in isolation. And a lot
of the novel happenings are related to Covid 19…
Take yesterday morning for example. Marjorie found
some complicated medical stuff on a chair under the dining room
table.
“Alan, what is this equipment from the doctor.”
“I don’t remember…maybe something sent along
from the hospital. (where I had my gall bladder removed)
“This could be important, Alan.”
“Suppose so.”
We thought it was an emergency kit for intubation. There
was a shiny new funnel, a length of clear plastic hose and some
kind of filters… and a Stainless steel pipe with handle. All wrapped in clear plastic and sealed.
Inside were the instructions. We had read that intubation hurts
and requires sedation so this stuff made sense to us.
Opening the bag we discovered they were the
new parts for putting gas in our lawn mower.
Take A look. Would you assume medical paraphernalia
for self intubation? Tube to the lungs in other words.
Post surgery emergency kit?
