Fragility
Sorry to post for a third time in a day, but this lady nearly died right in front of me, at work. I work in an IT helpdesk on campus at QUT, and a lady came in, in the throes of an asthma attack. She had to wait three minutes for security to arrive, and 20 minutes on top of that for an ambulance. All this while, she was struggling to breathe, comforted by a couple of classmates. Occasionally she would cough and hack loudly, and one classmate who was a girl became quite teary through it all.
As an employee going through this, it was surreal to have to continue answering phone calls and accepting assignments.
The paramedics arrived and everything was sorted out, but yeah.
How fragile is life? I don't know how fatal an asthma attack was, but this lady seemed pretty bad for it... Meh, I don't know how many hundreds of people face this kind of thing every day in Brisbane, but its pretty interesting.

Don't worry, life isn't worth anything. There's six billion on the planet, so it'd take about two billion to die before I'd even be bothered - given overpopulation, I actually hope about two billion die off pretty soon.

hey luke how you doing this is jonny thats for the coment
I think your bloggs are pretty call LUKE.....
um, life is really fragile, i thought one of my patients was going to die today, he just came out from OT and he had so much pain, and his O2 in his blood dropped to 69% (normal range should be 95-100)...i was so scared too, even that i was already in the hospital and with nurses and doctors!
