The ARDS sounds very much less than ideal but I'm still pretty bullish on prognosis.

It’s not maliciously done or anything, it’s just what happens when emotions are high during a stressful event.

I am still extremely skeptical of the profession as a whole but apparently there are some people using the title who do real poo poo

Dentists and Chiros are pretty much the same health-care adjacent con-men who occasionally actually do something in the patient's best interest.

You used to go to the dentist only if your mouth hurt. At that point, pulling the tooth might be the only answer. In the 1950s, one dentist (forget his name, obit was in the NYT) advocated for regular preventative care. Result? Small cavities were caught and fixed before they became abscesses. Poor people can't afford preventative dentistry, and dentures are far more expensive now thanks to low demand. It's a double whammy.

On the other hand, it appears previous reports that he was resuscitated twice were in error. He's still under, but folks speaking to the media seem fairly positive; we just need to see what state his brain is in once he comes out of the medically-induced coma.

There were very serious about that. HAHAHAHAHAHA what? The reason you didn't miss it is because you HAD to have a clean bill of health from the dentist or you couldn't deploy. That is it. Tricare doesn't cover dental so you're still left without it even if you do 20 and retire (you can pay out of pocket for it, as well as for Tricare since the last admin did away with the whole "free healthcare if you do your full time and retire" business). I had terrible experiences with Navy dental that still carry over with me today, 12 years after I retired. But sure, it was there and it was free while you are on active duty and like most other things in life, you get what you pay for.

I found a great dentist who does no upselling, treated some things with basic work before they got out of hand (and the work hasn’t needed rework), and who saw me immediately when an abcessed tooth caused the worst pain I have ever felt. This is from someone who hates dentistry so much that I didn’t see a dentist for, oh, 15 years due to some absurdly brutal cleanings and having seven teeth pulled in one sitting when I was 12. That long break resulted in a cleaning that took 90 minutes and six shots of novocaine to handle the cavitron going deep into my gums. Oh, and a molar that had to be pulled. tldr: Find a good dentist doesn’t upsell and see them regularly.

It’s not maliciously done or anything, it’s just what happens when emotions are high during a stressful event. Media reports for this are tough since everything is coming from emotional people like family who probably don't understand the nuances and can't really relay technical details very clearly or people that do know what they are talking about but are only guessing because they haven't actually seen him. Like it's not hard to see a doc explaining to this family that they did some sort of work on him in the ambulance, family interprets that as they brought him back and tell a reporter, unless the reporter has experience with such stories they might just think resuscitate is a cool sounding word, and then the medical analysts go on that because it's a specific thing they can talk about. The only people that actually have the expertise and access to talk about his specific situation with any detail are all HIPAA people that can't say a thing. Would the docs be okay if they told the family "hey, if you guys are going to talk to the media, please use these specific words so there are no mix-ups"?

I had an amazing dentist that as well that never upsold and always did little small stuff for free. He was an older old school guy. Then he got cancer and went from healthy to dead in under 6 months. I went back for my 6 month appointment and there was a new dentist. The current dentist that bought the place has turned it into a huge dental/wellness/spa/sleep center and EVERYTHING they do is to sell you another non-dental service. It's insane. She did make it more high tech so scanning and printing a crown right there at your appointment is awesome. But not worth the anxiety of going to what feels like the car lot of dentistry.
