Anyone with an entry level medical degree could read his first few posts and rule him out as 'critical'. There are much more invasive interventions that would have been mentioned had this been a severe case of pneumonia or a bad cardiac event. There are many clues in his post which also led me to this conclusion. The fact that his mom, an RN, assessed him and deemed him competent to drive himself into the ER. A severe pneumonia case would not even be able to walk the distance from the parking lot to the ER waiting room. He mentioned that his EKG was normal, this is one of the first determining factors to determining a myocardial infarction wether it be the critical STEMI or even a non STEMI. He only required mild oxygen therapy, another determinant to lung perfusion/gas exchange. We probably see an average of 8 pneumonia cases per day and very rarely do they need critical care measures. The ones that do are very old or have an underlying condition compromising their immune system or pulmonary system. I know steri to be a young otherwise healthy male. For the pneumonia to be severe with him he would need another system failure, chronic or acute, or severely immunocompromised. I assumed either one of those would have been worth mentioning in the initial posts. I may stand corrected with my assessment but I gave what info I could with the facts provided to the best of my knowledge. So excuse the fuck out of me for trying to help out a good bro. Constructive, functional and applicable help; not a reach around and a balloon.
