I just looked up the mention of this on the forum back in 2019. Good to hear that PM33 is obviously healed up as it would have been a pretty traumatic hat he had a mobile phone back in those days according to the comments.
Someone on the go-fund-me made a donation and said this:
"Big Pharma
$500 6 yrs
This way it will cost less to pump PM33 full of our drugs than a monkey. But we might learn as much.
"
Reading about it again, I can confidently say that I would rather not have the accident and forfeit the $5,865. I am sure everyone would feel the same.
Good point. PM33 was protected from covid by vaccinated people via herd immunity. Mobile phone-owning people called University-trained medical professionals who stabilised him and took him to hospital. There university trained surgeons worked on his leg using Big Pharma medications. Then his recovery was supported by GoFundMe donations.
Going off on a tangent, it's pretty remarkable when you think about it. A few hundred years ago you would be lucky if you didn't die from blood poisoning, and now, you can have pretty intrusive damage and still have a pretty good chance of recovery. And its getting better all the time.
Medical science has progressed so much in the last 50 or 60 years, it makes you wonder how much better its going to get.
I was talking to someone about surgery I had about 10 years ago. They sliced me open to do the repairs, but now they do the same procedure with key-hole surgery. I have also had both shoulders repaired using key-hole procedures, and its so impressive that you can do something like that and have pretty good recovery times.
Its fine for PM33 to have his beliefs, but when the rubber hits the road, the medics treating all of us know their stuff. Mostly.
