Ok whoever thinks that buck is the big boy in his relationship look at his baby girl face he is standing beside his boyfriend omg, can be believe buck our buck has a boyfriend and look at his big happy smile 😁
@operator-please-take-my-call the blood clot traveled through his heart into his lungs where it got stuck. The heart keeps pumping blood that cannot flow past the clot. The capillaries in the lungs are super thin due to the O2/CO2 exchange happening there. The backlog of blood makes them burst.
When that happens, you cough up bits of blood, not the huge amount Buck did. With that amount, Buck would have probably drowned in his own blood by the time they got him to a hospital.
Despite all that an embolism is still a very much life threatening condition, less to the coughing up blood, but rather the organs, especially the heart, not getting enough oxygen.
I know most people don't care and the show is far from accurate, but coming from the medical field there are some things that make me go *eek* in fics:
There's no sense in shocking people when in complete cardiac arrest (= flatlined, as Hen had explained after the lightning strike). Go for compressions, shocking only when there's something like v-fib
Brain injuries are a bitch. Any kind of bleed, too much pressure, stroke - it is more than unlikely that people just wake up and are alright. Recovery for younger people is easier, but still takes time. Most likely symptoms are movement or speech problems.
The whole coughing up blood due to a clot is super rare, a heart attack or a stroke are way more likely. Even I had to do some research, why Buck coughed up blood (give me a shout out, if you want an explanation)
Broken bones take time to heal, even more rehab to do a firefighter job again. We're talking months here.
I am a certified occupational therapist. I have quite a bit of medical knowledge. However, as I am from Europe, I know nothing about the health system in the US. Still, if you have any questions, let me know.
