>Disabled and sick people are all around you.
You are conflating "disabled" with "dying". A deaf person will have a decent chance of coming back to normal if they survive CPR. An 85-year-old with heart disease will most likely not. The parent was a little vague, but if you read the article the context is clear.
- iudqnolq 3y agoDo you believe most 85-year-olds with heart disease are in a hospital and not in public? Edit: Furthermore the person I replied two defined group 1 as "otherwise healthy". So I think it's fair for me to have inferred they meant what they said and their only other group includes "sick and very sick" people. Edit2: Realize I had a significant typo. My post was phrased as a statement and not a question. I added the "Do [original]?"
- cstrahan 3y agoCan’t you be both deaf and healthy? Or missing a leg and healthy? I don’t see how “disabled” implies “not otherwise healthy”. I often run into people who are deaf, or an amputee, or have type 1 diabetes, etc, but I rarely come across someone that (to my knowledge) has a substantial illness. But I live in a city where I very, very rarely run into someone much over 40 (at that point they are likely to have been married and had children, and the thing nearly everyone does here is move into the suburbs once they’re married with children). I suspect that where you live makes a huge impact on whether or not you’re surrounded by unhealthy/ill people.
- iudqnolq 3y agoYou may not run into people over 40. But most people over 40 absolutely live in ordinary communities. The original point I replied to suggested everyone at a high risk for bad CPR outcomes is in a hospital. Now we're talking about suburbs.
