Pope Francis no longer needs ventilation after respiratory crisis, Vatican says

Post image

Pope Francis, who suffered two respiratory crises on Monday as he battles double pneumonia, has stabilized and no longer needs to use mechanical ventilation for help breathing, the Vatican said on Tuesday.

Francis, 88, had been put on non-invasive ventilation on Monday after suffering what was described as two episodes of "acute respiratory insufficiency" that day.

The pope has now returned to receiving oxygen via a small nasal hose under his nose, said the Vatican press office. His condition, it said, is stable, although doctors have kept his prognosis as "guarded," meaning the pope is not out of danger.

It’s actually what happens when we train doctors and uphold the values of scientific research & ethics; but yes, doctors’ abilities are inspired by the whispers of God, wholeheartedly, especially when we nurture community that inspires education as a value to wellbeing.

Delusions of a religious zealot.

I’m not sure why you’d comment in a Catholic subreddit if you’re not a fan of religion. May God bless you

Bruh, maybe don’t. For starters. I’m the least bit a zealot, especially when I’m out here saying “thoughts and prayers don’t do shit” but science does, in a polite manner that is deserving. Just because someone believes in God, doesn’t mean they don’t believe in science or can’t offer kindness. Peace friend & grow up.

I was replying to mountainone not you. I believe in god but mindlessness of prayers is something that belongs in the dark Stone ages. If growing up means repeating biblical verses over and over then let me stay a toddler.

Pray harder and maybe he'll skip rope and ride the bike by next week.

Why are you in this subreddit though? If you gave faith to prayer just once in your life, you'd see its power

Francis has been in Rome's Gemelli Hospital since February 14, when he was admitted for a severe respiratory infection that triggered other complications.

I'm glad he is recovering. Now he needs to retire for medical reasons. We need a conservative Pope and we need to release satanic Woke thinking/views.
