[Munchausen Syndrome / Black Salve / Self-Harm]

Her story just makes me sad. She has serious mental issues and didn't hurt anyone except herself.

She went from healthy to amputee in 3 years.

I really hope she does much better today, and stays off social media!

This video took me a while to make, hope you guys like it!

More projects coming soon!

WHAT IS PECTUS EXCAVATUM??

Medical Definition: a congenital chest wall deformity that is caused by growth abnormality of the cartilage that connects the ribs to the breastbone (sternum).

Non Medical Definition: is a condition in which the person's breastbone is sunken into the chest.

Another name for this would be "Funnel Chest" and is more common in boys than in girls.

HOW COMMON IS IT?

About 1 to 8 people per 1,000 have it.

While the sunken breastbone is often noticeable shortly after birth, the severity of pectus excavatum typically worsens during the adolescent growth spurt.

This is a graph showing the age composition for the condition. As you can see most of the cases range in the 13-18 age group.

Severe cases of pectus excavatum can eventually interfere with the function of the heart and lungs.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?

For many, the biggest symptom is the deformities of the chest. Some other symptoms include the following:

*Shortness of breath with exercise.

*Less stamina compared to peers.

*Fatigue.

*Chest pain.

*Irregular heartbeat.

*Heart palpitations.

Of course, they could also have some psychological symptoms as well such as:

*Significant embarrassment from the appearance of your chest.

*Self-esteem issues.

*Clinical depression.

WHAT CAUSES PECTUS EXCAVATUM?

Researches haven't found a specific genetic link, yet. They do suspect there is one though. About 40% to 53% of people with pectus excavatum have a biological family member with the same condition.

Pectus Excavatum is associated with the following:

*Impaired exercise tolerance.

*Mitral valve prolapse (leaky heart valve).

*Compression of your heart.

HOW DO YOU FIX THIS?

There are actually TWO way's to fix this.

The Nuss Procedure:

This procedure is minimally invasive. Your surgeon would do the following:

*Insert a camera into your chest to guide the procedure.

*Make two small incisions on either side of your chest.

*Insert a custom-curved steel bar(s) under your sternum and position the bar(s) to elevate your sternum.

*Secure the bar to your chest wall on each side to correct the depression.

The bar stays in place for several years. A surgeon removes it in an outpatient (same-day) procedure.

The Ravitch Procedure:

This is considered the traditional or opened procedure Your surgeon will do the following:

*Make an incision on the front of your chest.

*Remove the overgrown connective tissue that's pushing your sternum backward.

*Pull your sternum forward, away from your heart and lungs, into your chest wall.

*Use a small plate and tiny screws or a small metal bar to stabilize your sternum in its new position.

A surgeon will remove the bar in six to 12 months during a short outpatient procedure. This bar is smaller than the bar they use in the Nuss procedure. You don't need additional surgery because surgeons don't remove the plates.

COMPLICATIONS OF PROCEDURE:

*Pneumothorax (collapsed lung).

*Bleeding.

*Pleural effusion (fluid around your lung).

*Infection.

*The chest bar moving out of place.

*Pectus excavatum recurrence (happening again) after bar removal.

*Injury to surrounding structures.

*Chronic pain.

HOW LONG DOES RECOVERY TAKE?

4-6 weeks.

If you have gotten this far and have a few more minute's I can now tell you MY experience with this surgery.

I ended up getting this procedure done when i was 13 or 14 years old. Just going into High School. Mine was severe enough to get The Ravitch Procedure done. How we knew I needed to get the procedure done was one day at Basketball practice I started having a hard time breathing and started hypervenalating from feeling like i was dying. Went to the doctors who found out that it has started pushing up against my heart and lungs and causing major complications to my everyday life. The surgery went great but the recovery SUCKED! I can only describe it as the most painful thing i have ever experienced. My doctor told me they had to break my sternum and ribs to put in the metal bar. I also had to go through physical therapy to get back to walking. The WORST part was when i ended up getting hiccups and when they had change my bedding. The nurses had to roll me onto one side and then onto the other to remove the sheets. I had to keep the metal bar in for a whole year.

My lasting complications to the surgery is that my right part of my chest from the scar to the top side of my right shoulder blade is numb. Seem's like my procedure also failed because i still have a bit of an incaved chest cavity but nothing major.

https://gurugamer.com/viral/streamer-loses-life-drinking-two-litres-alcohol-16225

Not long before, Chinese media reported that a young female streamer suddenly died of alcohol poisoning. Accordingly, on a live stream, she held an event to spin the wheel of mayhem with many options including 2 liters of alcohol and other kinds of food.

With each donation from viewers, the streamer would spin the wheel once. Depending on the results and the values of her viewers’ donations, she would eat or drink something in a corresponding amount.

Everything was still OK until the needle stopped at the alcohol drinking option. The streamer didn’t hesitate to mix two bottles of alcohol into a small sink and as requested by her viewers, she even added eggs and mustard to the sink.

In the excitement of the viewers, she had a long drink, and it’s the moment everything went beyond her control. Her face started to turn pale; however, just thinking that it was a side effect after drinking alcohol, she even kept asking her viewers to send her more donations.

A few moments later, she suddenly collapsed onto the table. When she looked at the camera, thousands of her viewers felt very shocked to see her face. They started to panic and feel afraid of what’s going on with the streamer. She then tried to stand up but her efforts didn’t work. She fell on the floor.

Realizing that there was something wrong, the viewers immediately called the police for help with the hope to save the female streamer. It was a great pity that everything was too late. After an investigation, the police reported that the victim took Cephalosporins before the live stream, leading to her alcohol poisoning that then stole her life.

https://apnews.com/article/health-springfield-illinois-state-government-518d8beda0785e6e4c358d6c4bc50711

CHICAGO (AP) — Two Illinois paramedics face first-degree murder charges, having been accused of strapping a patient facedown on a stretcher while taking him to a hospital last month.

Illinois authorities filed the charges against Peggy Finley and Peter Cadigan on Jan. 9, nearly a month after 35-year-old Earl Moore died. Under Illinois law, a first-degree murder charge can be filed when a defendant “knows that such acts create a strong probability of death or great bodily harm.”

Sangamon County State’s Attorney Dan Wright announced the charges at a Jan. 10 press conference after an autopsy. The autopsy report listed Moore’s cause of death as homicide, caused by compressional and positional asphyxia as he lay facedown on the paramedic stretcher with straps tightened across his back.

If convicted, Finley and Cadigan could face between 20 and 60 years in prison.

They remained in the Sangamon County jail on Tuesday and were being held on a $1 million bond each. A message left Tuesday at their attorney’s office was not immediately returned. They are next due in court on Thursday.

After announcing the charges, authorities released body camera footage from three Springfield police officers showing Moore’s encounter with the officers and the paramedics. Wright said Moore’s family and community groups were consulted before the footage was released.

THIS is cool.

I love these videos. These and the heart videos.

I don't remember a lot of the details, but I think this footage was used as part of documentary and the video quality makes me believe it was made in the 90s.
