Ben Askren’s prognosis

[moosaev]

I was curious what the prognosis was for double lung transplant, this shit is mad depressing. There’s a very good chance Ben doesn’t make it to see his kids graduate high school. Horrible. Hopefully him being an athlete and relatively young extends his life expectancy significantly.

I knew this immediately. Googled it. Never wanted to say it. It's quiet depressing. Can he feel his lungs, when they are not his ?

Wonder if jorge thinks this is super necessary too.

No idea. Can any of us feel our lungs? I wonder if the low life expectancy is because the body eventually rejects the lungs as a foreign object?

Ben could easily live for 15+ years according to that though. Average age that receives lung transplants seem to be around 50-70yo and you can imagine their ability to recover is vastly worse than a much younger guy who has lived a very healthy lifestyle.

I know, that’s why I said I hope him being young and athletic extends that. But it’s still depressing man, even if he gets 15 extra years that means he’ll pass at 55. That’s around the time when you start sitting back and truly enjoy life, with money, your children’s weddings and first grand kids, playing golf, going on vacation, etc.

Man losing your lungs is such a shit luck. Mistake he made is not going to the hospital earlier. He complained about infections.

Well if it's any consolation he has been and is living that kind of life already minus grand kids. He has money and he has tons of free time given his professions. He's not some blue collar worker who has been working himself to the bone with a shit job 10 hours a day thinking about the retirement day.

Who knows if going to the hospital earlier would’ve helped.

Relying on Google AI for this? Good luck. I'd trust a drunk at a bus shelter over that

A guy i worked with had a double lung transplant about a year ago at age 70 , he was a smoker for many years . Last I heard he is still going , much slowed down but can drive and walk into a store and buy his grub.

If Ben Askren makes the next couple months he should be around for some time , 6.6 years is average but some live 15 years or more

Every day is a gift, gentlemen. If Ben gets 5, 10 whatever more years on one hand that sucks but on the other there was a very realistic chance he wasn't gonna make it a few more weeks.

Every morning before I leave I go into my daughter's room and kiss her on the head and tell her I love her. And she's halfway asleep and almost always says "love you dad" back. But even if she doesn't, she knows I've been in there and said it. And if I'm traveling or she's staying at a friend's, I text her that I love her. Probably seems trivial to a lot of people. But God forbid something happen to me during my day, I wanna make sure the last thing she heard from me is that I love her. I'm not morbid or always thinking about dying or anything crazy, but shit happens.

A two piece.

Maybe he'll live to 80 and his body takes the lungs. I don't even wanna think about this today. God bless him.

There are literally countless stories of people having their lives saved by ChatGPT diagnosis even though the doctor insists they’re wrong. And now ChatGPT is being regularly used by doctors to narrow possible causes. The answers these tools give aren’t taken from the ether, they plug into existing knowledge bases and medical research papers. So there are credible medical journals out there that say this is the average life expectancy for double lung transplant.

ChatGPT also told me Khabib became the WW champion in the UFC
