Translation of an ICU Doctor's Comment on Chimaev's COVID Experience

[Ivancho]

I came across an interesting comment from an ICU doctor about Chimaev's experience with COVID-19. I thought it was worth sharing, so I translated it into English. Here's what the doctor had to say:

"I have been an intensivist for 25 years; with COVID, I started with the 3rd case in Chile until today; I contracted it 4 times, 2 without a vaccine (less than 3 months between the first two). I treated more than 2300 severe cases and saw many die of all ages. Now focusing on Chimaev. His COVID case was one of the most severe (he has a tracheostomy scar on his neck), which means he was on mechanical ventilation and induced coma for more than 10-14 days. I had particularly bid farewell to him in the UFC, due to the sequelae I see in these patients. That he continues trying to push forward is remarkable; the disease left his immune system wrecked, and when he enters the stress of training camp or fights, it takes a toll on him. For now, time, good nutrition, and supplements to TRY to recover him; I have patients who went through what he did and cannot walk 10 continuous steps because their lungs do not allow it, others who are on dialysis for life, and there are even those who have committed suicide due to post-COVID depression.

Only respect for the Kid, and I hope he comes back."

The ventilators are what actually killed most people during covid, they have a high risk of bacteria entering your lungs causing pneumonia thus causing further breathing issues

Wow, changes my thoughts of him on pulling out without good reason.

Do you have a source for this?

sounds like his immune system was already trash BEFORE the COVID, otherwise how else does he have such a bad reaction to it? my 70 yr old diabetic dad didn't even have to go to the hospital but "super healthy" fit pro athlete 30 yr old Khamzat had to be put on a ventilator? he better stop doing whatever the fuck he's doing to make him so weak.

Wow, had no idea about this. That means hospitals were basically turned into gas chambers. Legalized concetration camps basically.

Khamzat be like...

But I need to SMESH...

Khamzat is lucky he lives in a world of modern medicine. 100 years ago he'd been done due to survival of the fittest.

Lmao even Khamzat hacking up a lung and swollen like a balloon would still murder you with his bare hands.

We got a doctor in here. PhD. Player Hating Degree.

Anyway, this thread will turn to shit quickly, I'm sure. As for the OP @Ivancho might want to provide a source of some type.

I’ve seen doctors mention this somewhere. It’s most definitely true because most who needed ventilators died.

 

[IloveTHIS]

Ok well is it covid or food poisoning? Pick one

 

[runjay]

man, we’re a buncha fuckin assholes </3

Case in point: read these replies.

'I saw it somewhere'.



No source in the OP. No source for your post.

It's a barren wasteland of no sources!

That's not very smart reasoning. Most people that needed ventilators were terminally ill.

Viral headline twists study about ventilators and COVID-19 deaths

A headline shared widely on social media is spreading an erroneous narrative that COVID-19 deaths were actually caused by medical interventions, not the disease.

Athletes walk a very fine line betweeen healthy and not especially those concerned with weight cutting. Someone like Chimaev by all accounts is redlining his body way too much most likely

 

[ipowerslapmywife]

'I saw it somewhere'.

It’s common sense. I never said covid didn’t exist, covid symptoms that caused people to need ventilators turned into pneumonia. Look it up lol

yes, but what good is that if he dies every time he gets the sniffles?
