Laying in an Australian hospital bed & hooked up to oxygen to treat my pneumonia that I seemingly came down with over night, and your video has provided me with more info on how this has happened than any of the doctors/nurses/medical staff here have managed to explain. Non smoker, I don’t drink, I didn’t have any known infection before the pneumonia. Literally woke up with it and went downhill from there, which then lead to sepsis. No doctor has been able to adequately explain what the hell happened to me - I had to find that info here. Thank you!

I’m from Mackay 2 nights ago I thought it was from cleaning black mold. Severe asthma and lobar pneumonia ended up going yellow in the waiting room I just couldn’t breathe

[@prettonymous]

6 years ago, i guess on 1st of December i was admitted to hospital for the same disease... When doctor saw my x-ray he said "one week more without treatment and u are dead"... They inserted a tube in my lungs, i saw a green colour liquid coming from it. But as i was too late, they said liquid has hardened so they need to perform surgery instantly. Thankfully I've got time...

Bruh same i just got out of the hospital a month ago . I was admitted in tbe hospital for antibiotic treatment but after a week i had my xray it showed that my right lung is just white which means it is full of fluid. They did the ctt on me and they got most of the fluid that's in there. It's like jello . The fluid left cant be drained by the tube so they had to cut me open. Im recovering from surgery but i still get easily tired.

I never realised how dangerous it might be, because my mother always notices the changes in the sound of my coughs. It's nice to know what is happening in me when I have those. Thanks.

[@AutisticWombot]

It's a left lung cause it has 2 lobes, not 3. Makes space for the heart.

[@davidonfim2381]

Lobes of the lung aren't a specific size, and the heart doesn't take that much more space on the left than it does on the right. It's pretty much smack in the center of the chest. The whole idea that the left lung has one less fissure as a result of the heart being ever so slightly pointed towards the left is very silly if you ask me.

[@tomsch.4259]

@@davidonfim2381 Well, IT is still everywhere reached like that. The left lung has a small indentation where the middle lobe would be in the right one. The capacity of the left lung however isn't that much smaller, it only has this structural difference. Since all twin organs in out body are mostly structurally similar, through laws of evolution we came to the conclusion that the non existent middle lobe of the left lung might be a result of less heart complications. This would give a human a selective advantage.

[@semireality]

lung and heart keep proper social distance

[@mhakoyMD]

It's probably the fissures.

[@NetRolller3D]

The middle lobe has probably been cut out and used to make the woman. :)

[@jenniferpoulin7076]

Left side= 2 lobes, right side = 3 lobes , one lobe of the right is missing . Love this channel so much.

I currently have frozen shoulder. It is awful. It had suddenly gotten way better in November for a couple weeks, after a slow start, then I woke up one morning, back at square 1 and little has changed since then. Had 1 steroid injection in early October....guess I may need another. Still waiting for physio appointment. Everything is super slow and backed up because of covid....

[@roachspray]

I had it at six! I remember not being able to walk at one point and had to stay in the hospital for months, only recently looked through my hospital records and found out it was pneumonia

[@donovanburrell2354]

Me too has a child I have pneumonia back in 2008 and 2009 at age 7-8 and I prone to get it again I stay at the hospital for a week

[@MrsBrit1]

I also had it at age 6. Hospitalised for a week. I understood what it meant, so somebody must've explained it to me. I knew I had fluid in my lungs, but I don't know what caused it. I don't remember what occurred prior to the hospital. I remember the oxygen tent over my bed and the little girl in the next bed. There were two, actually. One left after a couple days and a new girl was brought in. Several years later, her dad became a teacher at my school and he remembered me right away! Anywho, my question now is what my lungs look like and how they function at this point. I had never considered the after effects until I had a minor up in November and was asked if I had ever had pneumonia (or other lung issues) and when I said I had it so young, she asked if I have any lasting damage. I said no, because I have never been told I might or diagnosed with anything, but in the weeks since, I've begun to wonder. Is pneumonia the reason I cannot take a deep breath on a cold day? Is it the reason, when I get out of breath from exertion, that my lungs feel like they're on fire, trying to inhale enough, even at my healthiest? I don't have asthma. I have since looked up pneumonia in children and the rate of long term issues, and for those who were required hospitalization, it is pretty dang high. The trouble is that these studies are for under 5s. Is there really such a huge difference between 5 and 6, though?

Almost died from pneumonia caused by swine flu yrs back!!! Was a healthy 18 yr old single mother when I got it. Went shopping earlier in the day for an early (19th) bday present with my mother. Came home and took a nap because I was feeling fatigued and woke up not being able to breathe. Was in ICU, out of it, with life support next to my bed for a couple days..... within 12 hrs of taking a nap. No doctor or nurse thought I was going to make it. I still remember the day I came to in ICU and nurses and doctors were RUSHING to my bedside. It took almost a year to figure out what it was because it was such an early case. Happened at the end of 2008 but Swine flu wasnt considered a pandemic until 2009. Stayed in the hospital for a month. As soon as I got out of ICU they put me in the ward with heart patients because the infection had taken such a toll on my heart, i had to wear a heart monitor the rest of my stay. Will never forget getting all those blood thinner shots in my stomach until i had enough strength to start walking again. Viruses SUCK sometimes.

Isn't it amazing how our lungs look like 2 trees, and we need trees for oxygen.... Someone is messing with us.

[@SuperKiona123]

Makes a lot of sense that our bodies reflect things in nature, unless we take a more religious approach in that something created us and everything in the world individually. Note how some trees prepare for winter by losing their leaves while some trees stay green, some people get seasonal depression around the winter while others are unaffected. I have dreadlocks that look exactly like a species of coral someone took a picture of, down to the fuzzy cylindrical shape my hair has. Humans are a reflection of the earth in many ways but seeing as how we eat, drink, and sustain entire nations on it, it's not as surprising. Basically, the same way animals taste like what we feed them and crops grow differently based on what we put in the soil is the same way it happens to us humans.

I suspect it was white blood cells encasing whatever caused me soooo much discomfort. It looked like cauliflower because it was jello moulded from the sacks etc. it was like a snowflake and ‘’melted’’ away to a shapeless blob. The relief was instant. A miracle of nature.

[@jstasiak2262]

When a bacterium that is part of the normal microbiome of the lung becomes invasive and causes a lung infection, that is called an *opportunistic* infection. The bacteria of the microbiome are normally held in check by the immune system *and* the mechanical barrier formed by the endothelial cells which line the respiratory tract. When an organism of the microbiome exploits a weakness in one of those defense system, it is exploiting an opportunity, hence the name “opportunistic infection.” In addition to bacteria, viruses (e.g. influenza, RSV, SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2, etc) and fungi (e.g. Coccidiomycosis, Histoplasmosis) can also cause pneumonia. When viruses attack the respiratory tract, they damage the endothelial cells that line the respiratory tract and thereby create an opportunity for other pathogens (bacteria or fungi) to breach the defense and cause a secondary pneumonia. This is another example of an opportunistic infection. Antibiotics are useful drugs to treat *bacterial* infections. Anti-fungal drugs also exist to treat *fungal* infections. But there are (as yet) no drugs that reliably work against respiratory tract viruses. At this time, only a functioning immune system can clear a viral respiratory tract infection. But patients with viral pneumonias are sometimes given antibiotics which do not work on viruses. Why? Because a secondary bacterial pneumonia might be occurring. The virus creates an opportunity for the bacteria which has to be treated. Patients with secondary bacterial pneumonias are often very sick and often require hospitalization.

i had pneumonia in my left lung about 11 years ago, so bad, that i ended up with loculated fluid that had to be surgically removed. my left shoulder was cut open, the fluid broken up, and the subsequent protective "rind" (like an orange - and about as thick) removed. took 5 months to get over. i've also had 3X bypass, but the lung surgery was far worse.

[@mcrchickenluvr]

I got it from a mold infestation that we had in an apartment back in 2001. It wasn't the first time I'd had it as I'm asthmatic and prone to lung diseases. But that definitely the worst. I had fluid in AND around my lungs. The fluid build up was so bad that they didn't have a choice but to drain it surgically. And because of how much there was, they couldn't put me fully under for fear of my lungs collapsing. They had to take a tube and suction on both sides of my chest. They numbed me up but I could still feel the tube going between my ribs and into my chest cavity. They to use 2 tube on each side for the fluid. They also did a double lung biopsy once the fluid was out. I felt much of that too. Lidocaine works GREAT for.many things. Even this because I didn't feel the blade of the scalpel. But I felt everything else. And once the lidocaine wore off anything even if someone merely THOUGHT of touching me, I'd kick their ssses.

@@mcrchickenluvr holy shit! that sounds rough! at least i was under during the surgery. it hurt like a mother later though. they did shove a needle in my back to try to drain the fluid first, and it came out so bloody, they had to send me to a thoracic surgeon.

[@fordxbgtfalcon]

I had the same exact surgery last year. still trying to heal. was in the hospital a month.

[@skip123davis]

@@fordxbgtfalcon sorry to hear that. i was told that is one of the roughest surgeries there is. they were very careful sending me back to my hospital room, cuz they said every crack in the floor was likely to upset me, and they were right. they went very slowly over any irregularities in the floor.

A very dear friend of mine passed away from pneumonia at only 48. He had it twice, back to back, and was hospitalized for it. He went home and developed it again and delayed going back to the hospital and it took his life. It is no joke, nothing to mess around with. Definitely get to a hospital asap if you suspect that you have it or definitely did have it but aren't getting better. Rest in peace "Tree Tree", we miss you so much! 💔

My mom had pneumonia 5 times in the past 6 months. She never smoked. She recovered from pneumonia 4 times, but the 5th time sadly took her life. She was 64 years old.

This video was educational and interesting all at the same time. Your instructor breaks things down really well to help simple people (myself) understand the anatomy of the human body as it fights viruses, bacteria, and infection. Thank you for creating this content.

Really enjoyed your video. Made it so easy to understand. I have Lupus with lung involvement so I've had my share of pneumonia.Going into my blood stream and very ill. So glad I came across your video. Love it.🤔🤔

Two years ago I went to the ER with a high fever, they diagnosed me as having pneumonia. But I didn’t have a cough, no problem with breathing, no chest pain, no discomfort in the chest area, nothing. Didn’t seem right that my fever was labeled pneumonia.

[@megansmallwood3409]

Same! But my x-rays showed them my lungs were filled! But what's funny, I wasn't in any pain, sure I had lower engery but I thought I'm a girl probably just my period, so when they told me it was pneumonia I was shocked!

[@WICKEDCLOOSTER]

[@doyen101]

Same here February 2021. 7 days in hospital. Terrible headaches and would pas out. Nights sweats for close to 2 months. Sill not recovered fully. I had surgery December 17, 2021. All symptoms returned except passing out.

[@drena2671]

This is so well explained amazing how the body has a defense system

[@pabloblanco2656]

Very good lecture and details but I will point out that being elderly is not a risk factor. There are many people that develop pneumonia and they are not elderly. I personally developed pneumonia at the age of 30 AFTER a hospital admission NOT before the admission. This was due to (as with the vast majority of pneumonia cases) environmental pathogens as the result of gross negligence of proper disinfecting. The risk factors are : 1) the environment the individual is in 2) the individuals overall condition 3) the immunity of the individual

I wish i would have found this video a few years ago. My middle son got pmenonia when he was 4 months old. He ended up in ICU and almost lost his life. Education like this would have been so beneficial.

[@chookvalve]

This time last year I got pneumonia in right lung. I reckon it came from a bad tooth that was extracted a couple weeks before. Very rank and bacterial. I had no other infections, ironically in the middle of a COVID-19 lockdown. Pneumonia Felt like a cracked rib or torn lat muscle, but then a week later I coughed up blood. Scary for me as I used to smoke. Had an x ray which confirmed pneumonia. Apparently my case was not too serious and I did get better in a week on antibiotics, and steam. But it did show me what just a slight breathing difficulty is. I normally never get sick so it was a big surprise and good lesson to know what other people have have to go through.

I am learning so much from you, I wish you were around when I was younger too. Last night at the dinner table a pop song came on the tv and my daughter said, this would be a great song to do CPR to. so we got chatting about it and I found myself telling her about your video on the speed at which you should do chest compressions, even my husband listened with interest. so thankyou you might well have given us the knowledge to save a life.

Not too long ago I had pneumonia and this just brought me back to that day haha. I want to inform a lot more people on this stuff so they don’t get it,

[@marktheexplorerUK]

Very specific explanation for us, non medical students/professionals/individuals. Please continue to make videos and show us what’s our organ looks like. I had an acute bronchitis before, it developed as an asthma. Now, I am not sick or anything. But sometimes, I feel like my left body is a little bit heavy. I mean my left lung is kinda heavy and it feels pain sometimes in that area. Is there a connection with this pneumonia? Or am I just paranoid. Haha. Hopefully you can discuss more about respiratory diseases next time. Peace out ✌🏻 cheers 🥂

[@jentapsell1137]

I developed pneumonia 7 years ago after a personal loss within three days of the first symptoms my right lung shut down completely and was non functioning. Absolutely terrifying . I had both a bacterial infection and a viral pneumonia which was why it was so bad. I coughed blood for around three or four months after and six months after the hospitalization I developed a blood clot in the exact same spot so it was a pretty rough year. Thankfully I got through it . I’m 37 now and even though I’ll be on meds for the rest of my life it could have been so much worse and i know how lucky I am to be here.

[@josiesferrazza5324]

I love watching all your tetorial illistration and I'm a visual learner and yourself by step of explain the functios of the anatomy along with disease that would or could take place, gives me a thoroughly understanding of our bodies function of organs along side of how they correlate with the assistance of our own bodily fluids muscles, tenants and soo much more.this provides me with a point of action of how our body can heal itself with proper care apart from medical interventions and how it works for us to better heal the sick in different many cases. Thank you very much for the thorough explanations that break it down into layman's terms for us. I very much enjoy all your videos, cuz we all know someone or another that deal with disease and illnesses and I have an a better understanding as to why our bodies go array at timesand why it does but know I have an educational knowing of why it takes place and how it develops illnesses and disease. Thank yiu keep bring your videos on. Josie S

I’m finding these fascinating. Thank you! Any chance of an in-depth look on a) the larynx / vocal folds and tough etc? As a singing teacher it would be great to understand it better and be able to show my students if they wished. Also, I’m type 1 diabetic so an in-depth look at the pancreas and is mine completely useless or does it still do something?

This is really interesting to me. I had pneumonia last year in my right lung all three sections of it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ no idea what type because my doctor at the time didn’t send me to get imaging but antibiotics was what got rid of it. Almost ended up in hospital though and took so long to get over. So it’s really interesting watching this video and knowing more about it.

Hey Bella, that's great. How long you have took antibiotics and how long it's taken for completely get rid off ? I had taken antibiotics for 7 days then sputum test was negative but it becomes positive again after another test and now again taking antibiotics. Please reply
