#hyperbaric chamber??? in the hospital

[argentist]

outer banks has me dying of laughter. there are literally no Rules in this town

[lovelyjj]

hiii could you do the reader and jj diving for the necklace, getting attacked by those guys, and jj goes to get the reader with the group checking up on them and they end up getting the bends, going to the hospital to be put into that chamber and it’s just really cute and soft <3

Hyperbaric Chamber

jj maybank x reader

OBX season 4 SPOILERS

a/n: I was hoping someone would request this! I didn’t know if you wanted smut or not so I didn’t include it but let me know if anyone wants smut in the hyperbaric chamber!

“Look, it’s too dangerous for you to dive alone Im going with you,” you stated.

“You sure?” JJ questioned.

“Yeah I’m sure. It’s not safe. You need a buddy.”

“It’s 80 feet down in the dark.”

“I already decided so,” you replied.

“Okay, that’s that.” JJ spoke.

You and JJ were going to receive an amulet that had been said to break the curse of the Genrettes that’s haunted their family for over 300 years. You were a little nervous but you knew you had JJ with you. You and JJ, plus Pope and John B take the boat out to where Blackbeard’s ship was wrecked.

“Don’t forget your safety stop, all right? Fifteen feet for three minutes. Hear that, JJ? Fifteen feet, three minutes,” Pope reminded you both.

“Copy that.”

“Or what?” you ask.

“The bends, remember? Nitrogen in the blood, excruciating pain, death, et cetera, et cetera.” Pope recites.

JJ looks at you and you can tell he will never forgive himself if something happened to you. “Hey you okay?” He asks.

“Yeah I’m good.”

“Okay.”

“Diver down.”

“Diver down.”

You and JJ put on your gear and fall back into the water. You both turn on your flashlights and swim down into the water. There’s a lot of fish but you finally reach the ship. JJ pushed open a window and you both go through it.

JJ finds the necklace and uses his knife to break it off the wall. Out of nowhere someone attacks you and takes your breathing tube out of your mouth. JJ takes his speargun and thrusts it at the guy, he manages to shank him in the arm.

JJ starts to fight with the guy and the guy ends up locking JJ out. JJ calls out to you, his voice desperate and he bangs on the door. The guy grabs you by the leg and cuts off your tank leaving you with no air. JJ screams for you and you scream for him.

JJ managed to break a hole in the door and he put his arm through and unlocked it. He then urgently gave you his mouth piece to give you some air. He looked down at his monitor and saw that there was only 17 seconds left.

“We gotta go now.” JJ urged.

You finally reached the surface and you both gasped for air.

“You okay?” JJ asked.

“Yeah. That was so close.”

“I know.”

“Who the hell was that down there?” JJ questioned.

“Where’s John B?”

The two of you start yelling for Pope and John B. They hear you and you swim over to them. Pope gets the ladder.

“Y/N, hand me your stuff,” Pope offers.

You let out a groan.

“Wait. Where’s your BCP?” Pope asks.

“It’s gone.”

“What? What do you mean it’s gone?”

“I mean, it’s gone.”

“You all right?”

“Yeah.”

“There was a guy that tried to kill us.” JJ breathed.

“We saw a boat out here too. They were armed. We need to get out of here now,” Pope said urgently.

“No, you don’t understand. There’s a guy down there-“ JJ was cut off.

“There’s a boat. We just saw it pass,” Pope repeats.

John B starts to move the boat and you all sail out of there. Once you all get back to the château John B speaks, “Alright what the hell happened?”

“Someone tried to kill us,” you responded.

“What? Why would someone try to kill you? That doesn’t make sense,” Pope was confused.

“Obviously, they were going after the same thing we were, right?” John B stated.

“My stomach hurts,” you announced.

“Hey, man, did you take your safety stop?” Pope inspects JJ’s eye.

“I’m gonna say it one more time. Someone was trying to kill us. We did not make the safety stop,“ JJ replied.

“They have the bends. We need to get them to the hospital. Now.” Pope says worried.

Everyone hopped in the twinkie and John B drove as fast as he could. You and JJ were moaning and groaning in pain. Sarah told you to take deep breaths.

“Y’all are not going to believe this,” JJ says as he hands the amulet to Sarah.

“You found it?”

“Holy shit.”

After what felt like forever you finally make it to the hospital. Your friends held you up as you walked in. Pope explained that you went diving and you need help.

“Their vitals and mental status is stable, and the pain scale is moving in the right direction, but they still need time in the hyperbaric chamber. They just bought themselves 12 hours in the tank,” the nurse said to John B.

The two of you were in a lot of pain and you were panting as you laid down in the chamber.

“Y/N.”

“Mmm.”

“You almost died. I should’ve never let you go down there,” JJ says with regret.

“Then who would’ve saved your life?” You reasoned.

“I saved you too.”

“Ya know we’re in here for 12 hours,” you began.

“Yeah but there’s no one else I’d rather be in here with,” JJ shared.

“You’re sweet.”

“You’re my whole world you know that? I don’t know what I would’ve done if something happened to you.”

“I’m here J, right here,” You take his hand and hold it as you lay down.

JJ looks at you and then looks at your lips. You scoot closer to him and lean in. JJ cups your face with one hand and places his lips on yours. The kiss was needy but gentle. JJ was relieved to be kissing you. Your lips were crushing together.

You felt warm all over and your stomach was tingling. JJ’s heart was palpitating. JJ’s tongue explored your mouth. You lapped up his mouth. After making out, you took a breath and JJ brushed a strand of hair away from your face.

“My beautiful girl,” JJ whispered as he cradled your face.

“I love you so fucking much,” JJ confessed.

“I love you too.”

“I’m gonna marry you some day. We’re gonna live on the beach and have a bunch of kids. It’s gonna be perfect,” JJ talked to you about your future.

“Sounds like a dream,” you stated.

“It will be. So do you want a small wedding or a big wedding?” JJ asked.

“Hmm maybe something small and intimate. Like just the pogues and family,” you suggested.

“Yeah I like that idea. Where do you want to go for our honeymoon?”

“What about Greece or Italy or Fiji?” You thought out loud.

“Any of those would work for me, as long as i’m with you,” JJ replied.

You rested your forehead on JJ’s forehead and smiled. You spent the rest of your time in the chamber cuddling and talking. It was an experience. You turned out just fine and you had JJ so that was nice.

Carlos Motherfucking Sainz

This man. I cannot. Also, these men also keep putting my love of nursing and my love of F1 together so let's get into it! How did Carlos Sainz manage to win 2 weeks after having an appendectomy?

In the UK, at least, you can leave the hospital the same day you've have an appendectomy as long as there are no complications as long is it was done laparoscopically and there were no complications (burst appendix etc)

Carlos had his appendix removed laparoscopically (which I predicted considering how quickly he was back at the paddock to watch the Grand Prix!) you can tell by the incisions - 3 small ones for the camera and tools rather than one long incision for an open appendectomy.

Usually after an appendectomy you can go back to work after 1-2 weeks. IF YOU HAVE A NON-PHYSICAL JOB. We know this man was back training and strengthening as soon as he could. You can usually start to work out after 2 weeks, depending on wound healing. Those sit ups would have been agony!

That alone would have had him in a lot of pain, let alone the amount of g-force the drivers encounter when they're driving around the circuits - up to 5G in some cases. That's 5x their body weight.

On his latest Instagram post you can see him in a weird glass tube - this presumably is a hyperbaric chamber. There are multiple studies investigating the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the speedier healing of surgical wounds and reduction of post-operative infection.

In short, this type of therapy can reduce inflammation and boost the formation of white blood cells (the cells that protect the body against infection and defend it from attack of unknown organisms) to improve healing and lower the risk of infection.

Overall, we know he wouldn't have been able to drive unless he was safe to and he said himself they made sure he could get out of his car in the required time and padded his wound and made adjustments to ensure his comfort but you could see the pain he was in after and Lando helping onto the podium.

That man deserves his seat.

[velvetsainz]

okay now that i’ve finished my general surgery rotation, lemme #decode some of these carlos post-op pics i’ve been seeing for the girlies 🤭

- someone had to shave his pubes for that lower trochar port…

- and multiple someones def saw his junk………….no comment

- he also would’ve looked so dumb intubated 🫶🏻 (just think of him with the snorkel like that one pic)

- i wonder if they used his bellybutton as a port or if they did an incision just above that…#justlaparoscopicthings (that shit would huuuuuuurt)

- this is def right after surgery, right after he woke up from the anesthesia, hence why he looks straight ZOOTED

- also note the shitty bed vs the next pic = just out of surgery

- he barely knew what was going on & probs fell asleep like 10 minutes later

- “i lived bitch” vibes and i love that for him

- he just got the news: he’s pregnant (look away, give him some privacy omfg) ((he thought he couldn’t have children))

- they really didn’t scrub the betadine off him huh 💀

- i love that they chose this moment to take the pic

- he looks so befuddled & absolutely lights-on-but-no-one’s-home

- as i told @multiseb21 “he just Looks Like That”

- this is probs the next day in rounds before he left the hospital lmao

- “smooth operator” bracelet you’ll always be famous 🫶🏻

- hairy chest carlos i looooove youuuuuuuuu augheee

- carlos #confirmed ipad baby (he would’ve loved those dancing fruits 😔)

- he’s in a hyperbaric chamber (it, like, forces oxygen into your tissues under pressure to theoretically help you heal faster) ((the use of it in a totally healthy person immediately post-op is pretty negligible—it’s better for people who have chronic wounds/ulcers))

- also he’a apparently watching band of brothers so we do know he has good taste

- rip to everyone on the outside tho that shit had to be BLARING 💀

BIG TAKEAWAYS: he is baby and i would like to take care of him thank you 😌🫶🏻

Writing Notes: Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning - occurs when carbon monoxide gas is inhaled.

CO - a colorless, odorless, highly poisonous gas.

Produced by incomplete combustion.

Interferes with the ability of the blood to carry oxygen.

Found in: automobile exhaust fumes, faulty stoves and heating systems, fires, and cigarette smoke.

Other sources: woodburning stoves, kerosene heaters, improperly ventilated water heaters and gas stoves, and blocked or poorly maintained chimney flues.

The result is headache, nausea, convulsions, and finally death by asphyxiation.

Symptoms

The symptoms of CO poisoning in order of increasing severity include:

headache

shortness of breath

dizziness

fatigue

mental confusion and difficulty thinking

loss of fine hand-eye coordination

nausea and vomiting

rapid heart rate

hallucinations

inability to execute voluntary movements accurately

collapse

lowered body temperature (hypothermia)

coma

convulsions

seriously low blood pressure

cardiac and respiratory failure

death

In some cases, the skin, mucous membranes, and nails of a person with CO poisoning are cherry red or bright pink. Because the color change doesn’t always occur, it is an unreliable symptom to rely on for diagnosis.

Although most CO poisoning is acute, or sudden, it is possible to suffer from chronic CO poisoning. This condition exists when a person is exposed to low levels of the gas over a period of days to months.

Symptoms are often vague and include (in order of frequency) fatigue, headache, dizziness, sleep disturbances, cardiac symptoms, apathy, nausea, and memory disturbances.

Little is known about chronic CO poisoning, and it is often misdiagnosed.

Treatment

Immediate treatment: Remove the victim from the source of carbon monoxide gas and get him or her into fresh air.

If the victim is not breathing and has no pulse, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) should be started.

Depending on the severity of the poisoning, 100% oxygen may be given with a tight fitting mask as soon as it is available.

Taken with other symptoms of CO poisoning, COHb levels of over 25% in healthy individuals, over 15% in patients with a history of heart or lung disease, and over 10% in pregnant women usually indicate the need for hospitalization.

In the hospital, fluids and electrolytes are given to correct any imbalances that have arisen from the breakdown of cellular metabolism.

In severe cases of CO poisoning, patients are given hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This treatment involves placing the patient in a chamber breathing 100% oxygen at a pressure of more than one atmosphere (the normal pressure the atmosphere exerts at sea level). The increased pressure forces more oxygen into the blood.

Prevention

Carbon monoxide poisoning is preventable.

Particular care should be paid to situations where fuel is burned in a confined area. Portable and permanently installed carbon monoxide detectors that sound a warning similar to smoke detectors are available for less than $50.

Specific actions that will prevent CO poisoning include:

Stopping smoking. Smokers have less tolerance to environmental CO.

Having heating systems and appliances installed by a qualified contractor to assure that they are properly vented and meet local building codes

Inspecting and properly maintaining heating systems, chimneys, and appliances

Not using a gas oven or stove to heat the home

Not burning charcoal indoors

Making sure there is good ventilation if using a kerosene heater indoors

Not leaving cars or trucks running inside the garage

Keeping car windows rolled up when stuck in heavy traffic, especially if inside a tunnel.

Some interesting science analyzed

BY BROOKS LEITNER

Imagine lying back in an enclosed chamber where you bask for 90 minutes in a sea of pure oxygen at pressures two to three times that felt at sea level. This is the world of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), a technology that’s been around for decades and is now being explored as a possible treatment for Long COVID.

"The silence on the inside is deafening at first,” says John M.,* who has undergone dozens of HBOT treatments for his persistent Long COVID symptoms. Fortunately, there is a television outside the chamber in view, and it is easy to communicate with the provider if needed. While the potential protocol is still being refined, patients may undergo up to 40 HBOT sessions to address some of the most problematic, lingering symptoms of this complex condition.

HBOT is a therapeutic process that has been widely used to treat such conditions as decompression sickness in scuba divers, carbon monoxide poisoning, and diabetic foot ulcers. In HBOT, the body is exposed to 100% oxygen, a significant increase from the 21% oxygen concentration we typically breathe. The therapy takes place in an enclosed chamber where the air pressure is elevated above normal levels. The combination of high-pressure and high-oxygen conditions enhances the amount of oxygen that can reach the body's tissues. The hope is that this therapy can provide the same relief and healing to people with Long COVID that it does for those with other conditions.

According to John M., HBOT was the first treatment that helped with his sleep and reduced his heart palpitations. “At one point after hospitalization, my Long COVID symptoms were so bad that I could barely walk or talk. HBOT was a great tool that really assisted with my recovery,” he said. John added that he hopes the medical community will achieve a better understanding of how HBOT can help relieve suffering for patients with Long COVID and that more research will increase access to this innovative therapy.

Does HBOT improve Long COVID symptoms? One key observation from the work of Inderjit Singh, MBChB, an assistant professor at Yale School of Medicine (YSM) specializing in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine, is that Long COVID patients often experience debilitating fatigue. Based on Dr. Singh’s previous Long COVID research, the exhaustion is thought to be linked to the muscles’ inability to efficiently extract and utilize oxygen.

To picture how HBOT might work, you can think of your muscles as engines sputtering, struggling to get the fuel they need. If oxygen is the gas that fuels the muscles, it’s as if you are trying to complete your daily routine while the gas tank is running on “empty.” By aiming to directly address this oxygen utilization impairment, HBOT may be a potential solution.

A systematic review by researchers at the China Medical University Hospital noted that HBOT could tackle another major factor in the Long COVID puzzle: oxidative stress. This relates to the body's struggle to maintain balance when harmful molecules, known as free radicals, run amok, causing chronic inflammation.

Research co-authored by Sandra K. Wainwright, MD, medical director of the Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Wound Healing at Greenwich Hospital in Connecticut, suggests that HBOT, with its high-oxygen environment, might dampen this chronic inflammation by improving mitochondrial activity and decreasing production of harmful molecules. Other potential benefits of HBOT in the treatment of Long COVID may include restoration of oxygen to oxygen-starved tissues, reduced production of inflammatory cytokines, and increased mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells—primary cells that transform into red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

HBOT for Long COVID: Current and ongoing research Several small-scale reports have indicated that HBOT is safe for patients with Long COVID.

To address this question, a trial that followed the gold standard of modern medical research—a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind design—assigned 73 Long COVID patients to either receive 40 sessions of HBOT or a placebo of only 21% oxygen. The study observed positive changes in attention, sleep quality, pain symptoms, and energy levels among participants receiving HBOT. In a longitudinal follow-up study published in Scientific Reports, the authors at the Tel Aviv University found that clinical improvements persisted even one year after the last HBOT session was concluded. In a second study, the same authors focused on heart function, measured by an echocardiogram, and found a significant reduction in heart strain, known as global longitudinal strain, in patients who received HBOT.

In another study, 10 patients with Long COVID underwent 10 HBOT treatments over 12 consecutive days. Testing showed statistically significant improvement in fatigue and cognitive function. Meanwhile, an ongoing trial at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden has reported interim safety results wherein almost half of the Long COVID patients in the trial reported cough or chest discomfort during treatment. However, it was unclear whether HBOT exacerbated this symptom or if this adverse effect was due to the effort of participation by patients suffering from more severe Long COVID symptoms.

Is HBOT currently available as a treatment for Long COVID? For HBOT to become a mainstream treatment option for Long COVID, several critical priorities must be addressed. First, there is currently no established method for tailoring HBOT dosages to individual patients, so researchers must learn more about the specific features or symptoms that indicate potential benefits from HBOT. At the same time, we need to identify factors that may be associated with any adverse outcomes of HBOT. And finally, it’s important to determine how long these potentially beneficial effects last in a larger cohort. Will just a few HBOT trials be enough to restore patients to their baseline health, or will HBOT become a recurring component of their annual treatment regimen?

For now, HBOT remains an experimental therapy—and as such is not covered by insurance. This is a huge issue for patients because the therapy is expensive. According to Dr. Wainwright, a six-week course of therapy can run around $60,000. That’s a lot to pay for a therapy that’s still being studied. In the current completed studies, different treatment frequencies and intensities have been used, but it’s unclear how the treatment conditions affect the patient’s outcome.

“I have had some patients notice improvements after only 10 or 15 treatments, whereas some others need up to 45 treatments before they notice a difference,” notes Dr. Wainwright. “I think that HBOT is offering some promising results in many patients, but it is probably a strong adjunctive treatment to the other spectrum of things Long COVID patients should be doing, like participating in an exercise, rehab, and nutritional program.”

Dr. Singh notes that “a major challenge for research is the heterogeneity of Long COVID. It is hard to determine which symptoms to treat and enroll patients into trials based on them.”

Perhaps treatments that target multiple issues caused by Long COVID, like HBOT, may help overcome this challenge.

*Not his real name.

Brooks Leitner is an MD/PhD candidate at Yale School of Medicine.

The last word from Lisa Sanders, MD: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is just one of the many existing treatments that are being looked at to treat Long COVID. We see this with many new diseases—trying to use a treatment that is effective in one set of diseases to treat another. And there is reason for optimism: We know that HBOT can deliver high levels of oxygen to tissues in need of oxygen. That’s why it’s used to treat soft tissue wounds. If reduced oxygen uptake is the cause of the devastating fatigue caused by Long COVID, as is suggested by many studies, then perhaps a better delivery system will help at least some patients.

HOSPITAL - WILL GRAHAM'S ROOM - NIGHT-

Will opens his eyes, stirring as an aroma hits him. He sits up in bed as Hannibal pops the lid on a second Tupperware container allowing the steam to escape a rich amber broth. “Smells delicious.” Will says. “Silkie chicken in a broth. A black boned bird prized in China for its medicinal value since the 7th century. With wolfberries, ginseng, ginger, red dates and star anise.” Hannibal says as he places the bowl of soup on the tray.

“You made me chicken soup.” Hannibal offers a supportive smile. Of course he did. They sit silhouetted by the window, reminiscent of the first meal they shared together in the beginnings of their relationship. “The nurses tell me you've been wandering, Will.” Hannibal says. “I was awake. And wandering with purpose and good intentions.”

“Visiting that unfortunate young woman suffering from delusions?” Hannibal asks as he screws the lid of his thermos back onto the said thermos. “She's my support group.” Will says as he takes a spoonful of soup. “And I hope you're her's. Nothing more isolating than mental illness.”

“I know Dr. Sutcliffe was a friend.”

“She didn't murder Dr. Sutcliffe. Her disease did. I can't blame her for his death any more than you can be blamed for shooting Abel Gideon.”

“The hallucinations, the loss of time, sleepwalking. Could that have all just been the fever?”

Hannibal considers saying what Will wants to hear or what he wants Will to hear, then simply replies: “It's possible.” Not confident enough of an answer for Will. “Fevers can be symptoms of dementia. Dementia can be a symptom of many things happening in your body or mind that can no longer be ignored.” Hannibal says but once again, Hannibal knows whats wrong with Will and it is most certainly not Dementia. “Does Jack know?”

“That this could be more than a fever? No. I haven't told him.”

“Shouldn't you?”

“Not until we know for certain. What we must do now is continue to support and monitor your recovery. The young woman you were visiting. How is her recovery?”

“I don't think she wants to recover. Afraid to remember what she did.”

“Can't say I blame her.”

HOSPITAL - GEORGIA MADCHEN'S ROOM - DAY -

Smoke stains the walls and the high tech HYPERBARIC CHAMBER. BRIAN ZELLER studies the charred remains of Georgia Madchen as JIMMY PRICE studies the charred remains of the chamber. JACK CRAWFORD, Y/N L/N and Will Graham stand nearby. Will is still wearing his hospital robe, holding his rolling IV stand. “Hospital speculates a short circuit could have ignited the fire.” Jack says as he turns to Will and I.

“Unit looks well maintained. No exposed wiring.”

“Don't know if she suffocated or burned to death. We'll look for soot in the lining of her airways.”

Will fights the overwhelming sadness of Georgia's life.

“Horrible way to die.” I say softly. “A kid in Italy was in one of these things. A spark of static electricity from his pajamas set it off. Two cubic yards of oxygen became two cubic yards of fire.” Jimmy says, which makes me feel sadder. “Could she have started the fire?” Will is disturbed by that thought. A thought Zeller finds evidence to support. He pulls a blackened anti-static wrist strap out of the Oxygen Chamber. “She wasn't wearing her grounding bracelet. Prevents build up of static electricity. Took it off.” Zeller says as he looks up at us from the bracelet.

“Suicide? By immolation.” Will says confused, why would anyone want to go out that way? “She was facing two murder charges.” Jack says with a tone that makes me a little angry. “She wasn't suicidal, Jack. She was sick. I was here. I spoke to her.” Will says which causes me and Jack to look at him. “Why did you speak to her?” Jack says in an almost scolding tone.

“Because I know what she felt like.”

“She tried to kill you. She's a murder suspect. Being her friend impacts the case against her.”

“The case against her doesn't really matter anymore, does it?” And with that, Will EXITS. OFF Jack watching him go...

F.B.I. ACADEMY - JACK CRAWFORD'S OFFICE - DAY -

Will Graham approaches Jack at his desk. “Checked myself out of the hospital.”

“Check yourself back in.” Jack says as he turns away from Will. “Fever broke.” Will says as he enters farther into Jack’s office. “I don't care.” Jack says as he Turns back around with a scolding look on his face. “Georgia Madchen didn't commit suicide. And whatever happened to her wasn't an accident.” Will says as he approaches Jack’s desk. “I'm going to have Z come down here and put a thermometer in you and if I see a temperature above 99…” Jack scolds.

“She was murdered, Jack.” Will says with a tilt of his head. “By who?”

“By whoever killed Dr. Sutcliffe.” Will says, and Jack just looks at Will like he just lost his damn mind. “His blood was all over Georgia Madchen. Her DNA was all over him.” Jack says Bewildered that Will thought she wasn't his killer given all of the evidence. “She knew what she was capable of. She told me there was someone else there. She couldn't see his face.”

“There was someone else there. Sutcliffe. And she couldn't see his face because she cut it in half. I know you're looking for an explanation to make this all right.” Jack says as his voice raises slightly. “There isn't one. There was something wrong with her. We'll never know what that is. Just that she was wrong. However many doctors she saw, however much help she got, she was fighting that wrong alone.”

“You can't do anything about that.”

“All her adult life this woman was misunderstood. What I can do is make sure her death isn't misunderstood. She didn't kill herself. This wasn't an accident.” OFF Jack considering Will's convictions...

B.A.U. - MORGUE - DAY -

Brian Zeller, Jimmy Price, Jack Crawford and Will Graham stand over the CHARRED REMAINS of Georgia Madchen. “Dismantled the oxygen chamber to see if we could find evidence of someone tampering with the wiring or a short circuit. Nothing.” Zeller says as he looks from his report. “Then what sparked the fire?” Jack asks, confused.

“Inconclusive.”

“Not conclusively inconclusive.” He turns their attention to a SMALL BAND OF MELTED PLASTIC. “Found this. Thought it might have been part of the bed or monitoring equipment, but mass spectrometer said it was celluloid plastic. They don't use plastic in these things.” Jimmy explains to everyone.

“It generates static electricity.” Jack takes the band of plastic, studying it. “It was by her head. Her hair was melted into it. Preserved almost like it was in amber.” As Will takes in the sad dead girl...“Could it have been a plastic comb?”

“Static charge from a plastic comb in a highly oxygenated environment would have a powerful accelerant.” Jimmy supports the theory. “Everything combustible in there would combust.” Will looks at the melted plastic in Jack's hand. “You're holding the murder weapon.”

“Or what she used to kill herself.” A MORGUE DRAWER It OPENS REVEALING the body of Dr. Sutcliffe on a separate drawer than Georgia Madchen's CHARRED REMAINS. Jack, Will, Zeller and Price are gathered around the slack-jawed dead. “Whoever killed Sutcliffe wanted to kill him how Georgia Madchen killed her victim. But not exactly how.” Will says as he points to the nearly decapitated corpse.

“Georgia Madchen carved up her victim's face. Sutcliffe was nearly decapitated at the jaw.” Zeller says as he points to the bodies. “She went further the second time. Serial killers often do.” Jack says but Will's mind whirls around the details and facts, then: “She was copied. Like whoever killed Marissa Schuur and Cassie Boyle wanted to copy how Garret Jacob Hobbs killed his victims.”

“But not exactly how.” Will responds with a look, “Wait, wait. Hold on. Now you're telling me Dr. Sutcliffe was killed by Garret Jacob Hobbs' Copy Cat?”

“And so was Georgia Madchen. Because he thinks she saw his face.” Will says putting pieces together.

“You said Nicholas Boyle was the Copy Cat. His blood was on one of the victims. Nicholas Boyle's dead.” Jack says looking at Will concerned.

“Then he wasn't the copy cat.” OFF Jack Crawford studying Will...

HANNIBAL’S OFFICE - DAY -

Jack faces Hannibal, who sits behind his desk. “Will's connecting murders that previously had no connection.” Jack says concernedly. “Beyond his involvement in the investigations.” Hannibal questions with a very slight head tilt. “That's right.”

“You're wondering if the lines are blurring or if he's onto something.” Hannibal asks but what he’s thinking is if Will is putting it together, What does Y/N Know. Y/N has always known more than she lets on. But what exactly does she know? “I'm wondering about all sorts of things.” Jack says as he takes a sip of his drink.

“May I ask, do you believe Georgia Madchen was murdered?” Hannibal asks Jack with no emotion in his tone. “There's evidence to suggest her death was intentional but it could have easily been by her own hand.” Jack says but even he is questioning himself.

“This woman was bested by madness. Perhaps what Will can't accept is that she took her own life so she wouldn't kill again.” Hannibal suggests, on the outside he is put together and elegant, non-breakable. But on the inside he is slowly going mad, but we all know that he won't get caught until he lets himself get caught.

“Why is that so hard to accept?” Jack asks Hannibal as he is scared for a person he sees as a friend. “If she could survive her delusions, then maybe he could survive his. He was hallucinating when he shot Abel Gideon. In his mind, he was killing Garret Jacob Hobbs. Again.” Hannibal explains.

“What's Will's relationship with Abigail Hobbs these days?”

“You think Will's protecting her.”

“Has been since he killed her father. Just don't know from what.” Jack says as he runs his hands over his face. “I can't imagine he would hide anything criminal from you. I've only ever known Will Graham as a man striving to be his best self.” Hannibal says with a small smile.

“You haven't known him very long. But we both know him well enough to know he hasn't been himself.”

“Will needs our support, whether or not mental illness is involved.”

“Is it mental illness or does his mind just work so differently we don't know what else to call it?” Jack asks and stands, letting the question float in the air. “There are days when even Will doesn't understand his thinking.” Jack Crawford studies Hannibal. There is something the psychiatrist is hiding. He can sense it.

HANNIBAL LECTER'S OFFICE - DAY

Hannibal and Will, mid-session. “I'm much better now. I feel clearer. It had to be the fever.” Will says as he looks at Hannibal with a tilted head. “You checked yourself out of the hospital against the recommendation of your attending physician.” Hannibal says as he observes Will, in every aspect of the masterpiece he is.

“He gave me antibiotics.” Will says observing Hannibal just as much as Hannibal is observing him. “This is not the behavior of someone who is thinking clearly.” Hannibal inquires warialy.

“I'm finally thinking clearly about the Copy Cat.” Will says as he finally brings his eyes to Hannibal’s, their eyes danced around each other but finally meeting each other in the flames of the fire.

“The murders you're attributing to the Copy Cat have suspects, whose DNA was found on the victims.” says Hannibal as he breaks the intense and strenuous eye contact. “So what?” Hannibal stares, then proceeds calmly: “You're choosing to ignore that?

“Both of those suspects are dead. I'm choosing to factor that into my psychological profile of a killer. Georgia Madchen followed me to Sutcliffe's office. She witnessed his murder, she saw the CopyCat.” Will says as he stands up and starts to pace. “Why not kill her then and there?” Asks Hannibal as he leans forward.

“He must not have had time. She was an unreliable witness. And that bought him the time.” Will says as he looks out the window with his back to Hannibal. “So he framed her for the murder?” Hannibal asks and Will looks at him from over his shoulder. “He wasn't planning on framing her. He was planning on framing me.” Will says with a Realizing tone “You believe this is personal.”

“If it wasn't before, it is now. It could be someone at the Bureau, someone in the police force, someone who knows the crimes, and has access to the investigations.”

“Someone like you. Or Y/N?” Will considers that briefly, then dismisses the notion. “Y/N would never- No one is touching Y/N. There will be evidence. I found a pattern. And now I'm going to reconstruct his thinking.” Will says in an almost chaotic and rash tone. Starting to lose it once Y/N was menti

oned. Last time he saw her was this morning when he left her in bed for work. “How do you intend to do that?” Hannibal asks with furrowed brows.

“Take Abigail back to Minnesota. Start where the Copy Cat started. With Garret Jacob Hobbs.” Will says confidently, “Will, this is venturing into the paranoid. I can't allow you to pull Abigail into your delusion.”

“This isn't a delusion. I'm not hallucinating. I haven't lost time. I am awake and this is real.” Hannibal eyes Will's determination with curious concern.

HANNIBAL LECTER'S OFFICE - NIGHT

Jack Crawford confronts Hannibal Lecter. “What the hell is going on between Will Graham and Abigail Hobbs?” Jack demands. “Will has been victim to many unusual and irrational thoughts.” Hannibal says calmly. “Has he acted on those thoughts?” Jack asks in a demanding manner he is angry. “Not that I'm aware of or he's aware of, for that matter. But he has experienced periods of lost time.”

“I've seen him confused at crime scenes. He was disoriented.” Jack says in an angry knowing tone. “He may've been confused because he was waking up. Might not have known where he was or how he got there.” Hannibal Explains gently and calmly, and his eyes subtly go to his scalpel just in case. “Waking up?”

“From a dissociated personality state. He would appear perfectly normal and not remember a thing. But a fractured part of him would.” Hannibal explains as he quickly stands up defensively, he towers over jack which balances out the power dynamic and position. Giving Hannibal the Right amount of Intimidation that he desired “You knew about this.” Jack accuses. “He's only recently started to discuss these episodes.” Hannibal admits. “Unless recently was right before I walked into this room, you failed to mention any of this to me.”

“Because I was trying to determine if it was trauma and stress from the work he does for you... or mental illness. Thought it wise to be sure before making any kind of claim about Will Graham's sanity.” Hannibal growls back though really all he wanted to do was see what would happen if Will Graham fell off the edge. Would Y/N follow suit? “He took Abigail Hobbs. Any idea where they could be going?” “No.”

“We have evidence she was involved in her father's crimes. We just don't know how involved.” Hannibal appears appropriately gobsmacked by this revelation. “Could Will know what she did? Is that why he's been protecting her?” Hannibal looks like a man who wants to have a heart-to-heart. “There's something you should hear.” ON A RECORDING DEVICE

Hannibal presses play and watches Jack Crawford listen.

“How did you feel seeing Marissa Schuur impaled in the antler room?”

“Guilty.”

“Because you couldn't save her?”

“Because I felt like I killed her.”

Hannibal presses stop, studying Jack's reaction. “Where was Will the night Marissa Schuur was murdered?” Jack asks slowly, not wanting to believe his realization. “He was supposed to be in his hotel room. I knocked on his door. He didn't answer. He told Dr. Y/N L/N he decided to go to bed early.” Hannibal says softly. “We know Will was in Sutcliffe's office when he was killed. And Will was the last person to visit Georgia Madchen before she died.”

“Is Will Graham a suspect?” Hannibal Asked concerned for Will. “This dissociated personality state you say he goes into... whose personality is it?” Jack asks “Will said he got so close to Garret Jacob Hobbs and what he had done, he felt like he was becoming him.”

“Now Will has Hobbs' daughter.”

“Who Hobbs was intending to kill.” OFF that revelation...

HOBBS HOUSE - KITCHEN -

Abigail walks in and STARTLES to FIND HANNIBAL LECTER standing against the counter. Waiting for her. She immediately runs into his arms for a huge hug. “What are you doing here? Is Y/N here too?” Abigail asks hopeful, she had found a new maternal figure in Y/N.

“I was worried about you. No Y/N did not come, Just Me. Will told me he was taking you to Minnesota. I strongly advised against it.” He gently releases the hug, looking Abigail in the eyes: “Where is Will, Abigail?” Hannibal asks gently. “I left him at the cabin. I didn't feel safe with him. So I left him. He knows everything.” Abigail says Frightened. “So does Jack Crawford.” Abigail's mind spins, her options narrowing. “If I run, they'll catch me, won't they. You and Y/N can't protect me anymore.”

“They'll arrest you when they find you. They'll arrest Will, too.” Hannibal says with slight remorse, something he doesn't feel often if at all. “Did he kill Marissa?”

“They will believe he did. They will believe he killed others, too.” Abigail stares at Hannibal, awareness dawning. “Will always said whoever called the house that morning was the serial killer. Why did you really call?” Abigail asks softly as she gently steps back. “I wanted to warn your father that Will Graham and Y/N were coming for him.”

“Why?”

“I was curious what would happen. I was curious what would happen when I killed Marissa. I was curious what you would do.” Hannibal admits this time though a smile shows through. A wave of near-nausea washes over her, she pushes it down. “You wanted me to kill Nick Boyle.”

“I was hoping. I wanted to see how much like your father you were.” Hannibal says with a cocked eyebrow. “Ohmygod.” Abigail exclaims softly as she takes herself out of his hold. “Nicholas Boyle is more important for you gutting him. He changed you. That's more important than the life he clamored after.” Hannibal explains.

“How many people have you killed?” Abigail asks frightened for her life, and rightfully so. “Many more than your father.” Quiet tears stream as she realizes what she only dare ask:“Are you going to kill me?”

He gently strokes her cheek, then: “I'm so sorry, Abigail. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you in this life.”

PLEASE READ THIS & TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.

Around 2010 I contracted the "Flesh Eating Bacteria." I was in the hospital for 22 days & had over 5 surgeries. I was lucky because the bacteria was in my right breast. The doctor removed the necrotic tissue which prevented the bacteria from spreading to other areas of my body which had less fatty tissue. Additionally my doctor removed half of the skin on my right thigh to use as a graft on my breast. Not only was I in the hospital for 22 days but after leaving the hospital I spent about another 2 weeks, every day, in the Hyperbaric chamber which helped the graft work, giving me a full recovery.

SHOULD YOU FIND AN INJURY TO YOUR BODY PLEASE SEE YOUR DOCTOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. DON'T TAKE A CHANCE ON CONTRACTING THIS DANGEROUS & DEADLY BACTERIA.

The question was real lol I have seen a grand total of about 10 seconds of f1! And that was mostly just one guy swearing. Does the chamber help them in the race? Improve reaction time?

Nope, that's a hyperbaric chamber, a high-pressure oxygen-rich chamber used for speeding up wound healing and recovery post-surgery.

Carlos Sainz - the driver in the picture - had to pull out of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix just two weeks ago when he got appendicitis during the race weekend (drove two hours in the car on Thursday l with a high fever, went to hospital Friday morning, got surgery, came to observe the race Saturday like the crazy man he is)

He went off to do some recovery in the 11 days (including the hyperbaric chamber picture) until the next race weekend then flew to Australian Grand Prix and won it this past Sunday.

For perspective you average around 5Gs of G-force a corner in the Australian Grand Prix. Carlos is just that insane.

Michael Jackson - Leave Me Alone

(Dir. Jim Blashfield, 1989, USA)

Leave Me Alone" was a response to negative rumors about Jackson that frequently appeared in the tabloids post-1985 after the success of Thriller.

Beginning in 1986, the tabloids began to publish rumors about Jackson, one of the first being a story claiming that Jackson slept in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber to slow the aging process. A picture leaked out to the media of him lying down in a hyperbaric chamber used to treat people with severe burn injuries at a hospital he visited and donated money to after suffering serious burns to his scalp during the filming of a Pepsi commercial earlier that same year.

When Jackson bought a pet chimpanzee named Bubbles, the tabloids viewed it as evidence of Jackson's increasing detachment from reality. It was also reported that Jackson had offered to buy the bones of Joseph Merrick, the "Elephant Man"; Jackson stated that the story was "a complete lie".

The video groundbreakingly explores these rumours and criticisms using visually revolutionary methods of still images and motion capture seldom, if at all, used in music videos at the time to deny these false stories as well as express Michael's ever growing frustrations of the tabloids treatment towards him.

Chapter 7 of The Days of Me and You is live. I can't tell you everything that the author mentioned in the author's note, since it's not my (the beta reader and Tumblr-runner) story to tell, but I can say that the shark was not the scary part. Needing to go to a hospital with a hyperbaric chamber was the scary part. However, your fav and mine Nine is fine! Plans are in place to make sure the underlying health problem is solved, so she'll be back in the water and good to go, though she'll probably miss out on the rest of the summer season.

[strokes-of-everything]

Did you have an NDE, and if so are you willing to talk about it?

I don’t mind sharing! Probably need to share a warning for body trauma.

I’m not sure if I can truly call it an NDE since it was a drawn out experience and I didn’t flatline (afaik), but I definitely probably should’ve died in the two days after my TBI. After the adrenaline wore off, I didn’t wake up for 48 hours straight once I got home.

My parents should’ve called an ambulance/taken me back to the hospital, but I was awake for the entire initial ER visit, so the doctors chalked my unresponsiveness up to “being a tired college kid.”

We later found out I almost internally decapitated myself. Obviously that’s a problem. And no one caught it for multiple years.

But that’s not the point of this.

I can’t remember where I “went” while unconscious, but I do have the feeling that I was given the option of not coming back when I was initially out of it for those first 48. I have foggy memories of a lot of golden light/clouds/experiencing my spirit and true freedom instead of my human form from those first 48 hours as well as a couple of other times before I fully “fell back into” my life here ~6mo post accident. It happened in the middle of a shopping mall. 0/10, don’t recommend.

Since coming back, I do miss the weightlessness I experienced and the really awesome environment of wherever I was in those out of body moments. But the bigger change has been returning to the spiritual awareness I had as a kid.

I used to speak to dead relatives when I was really young. I knew stuff I shouldn’t have known at my age about people I never met. I told people when they would die (absolute vibe killer.)

Since the accident, I have:

Figured out when my grandfather passed, states away, before anyone told me about it. I felt his soul leave this plane. Real rough shift considering I was driving home from a yoga class with a friend and had to not say a word since she didn’t believe this stuff at the time

Woken up in a cold sweat because the voice of my grandma’s best friend told me, “take care of my girl for me,” as he passed away in the middle of the night, also states away. I barely knew the man.

Seen a Latin phrase I used to keep myself hopeful during my recovery plastered on the side of a hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber with zero idea it would be there. A sign I was on the right path.

Discovered the founder of my alma mater was given a statue by his board of trustees with the Latin motto I repeated every day I was fighting tooth and nail to recover engraved above the artistic representation of the campus. It had no relation to the University motto itself. This happened while I was leading a group of new students on an outing; trying to cover up my body reacting to this was not easy lol

In my recovery journey, I eventually wound up at a chiropractor’s office that follows Christ Consciousness/some Law of One/Ascension beliefs. They use the application of holy geometry to adjust people rather than traditional adjustments.

The chiropractor’s wife once did a past life reading on me when I was crazy skeptical, because I was mentioning how I felt like I was getting pulled between planes of existence. I didn’t believe in them, but my body didn’t care and reacted anyway. I left definitely believing in past lives.

For any Christians reading this—she involved Christ and the protection of the Holy Spirit before starting the session specifically to keep malevolent influences out.

I still get pulled into the higher spiritual planes sometimes, but I’m more conscious of it now. I mostly “see the lifting of the veil” in daily life now.

I hope that rambling mess is a decent response? It’s been years of post-accident spiritual awakening, so I can’t really call it a one off NDE.

Is HBOT Therapy Right for You? A Comprehensive Guide to Treatment

Oxygen is an inevitable vital for human survival. The air that you breathe daily is a homogenous mixture of many gaseous substances, such as nitrogen (N2) 78%, oxygen (O2) 21%, 1% other gases, and water vapor. The nitrogen, when breathed, does not participate in respiration and comes out as it is. Of the 21% oxygen, 16% is exhaled back with an additional 4% carbon dioxide. Only the amount of oxygen needed is retained in the body.

What is HBOT?

HBOT, or hyperbaric oxygen therapy, is the treatment of 97% to 100% oxygen filled in a specialized hitech oxygen chamber at an air pressure of 1.5 to 2 times the usual. This therapy allows the individual to breathe in pure oxygen under pressure. As per Boyle’s law, the oxygen molecules become smaller under hyperbaric pressure making it more soluble. In the case of tissue injuries, the oxygen molecules dissolved in the plasma and other body fluids are directly responsible for formation of new blood vessels and the growth of new tissues. It has several other benefits that we will discuss further in this blog post. The agency of food and drug administration (FDA) of United states (USA) has cleared the use of HBOT as safe and effective. HBOT Therapy treatment started in the 1940s to treat the decompression sickness of deep-sea divers of the U.S. Navy. At the primary stages, the HBOT was also used to treat carbon monoxide poisoning. The scope of using Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy has broadened over time.

How is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy helpful?

• HBOT fills your blood with a significantly high amount of oxygen, making it reach the remotest tissues and cells of the body. • Increased oxygen in the blood boosts the wound healing of surgical procedures, infected wounds, skin grafts, burns, and crush injuries and non-healing amputation stump. • It stimulates the production of collagen protein, which is the primary building block of our skin, muscles, bones, ligaments, and many other connective tissues. • HBOT can prevent severe tissue damage to oxygen-deprived tissues. • It also increases the body’s resistance to infections and blocks harmful bacteria. • HBOT also helps in treating radiation injuries, such as the damage after radiation therapy for treating cancer. • In HBOT chamber, 60 times more oxygen is dissolved in plasma & body fluids.

What diseases can be treated by HBOT?

Hyperbaric chamber treatment can help in treating the following medical conditions:

• Ortho-general diseases like diabetic foot, necrotizing fasciitis, compartment syndrome, pressure ulcers and Gas Gangrene. • Neurological diseases like head injuries, Stroke, Autism, intracranial abscess, cerebral palsy, spinal cord contusion, Trigeminal neuralgia and Bell’s palsy. • Ophthalmological diseases like central retinal artery occlusion (sudden vision loss) and Optic neuritis. • Oncological conditions like Post radiation cystitis, post radiation proctitis, mandibular osteoradionecrosis, prophylactic HBOT before radiation treatment and post radiation non healing wounds. • ENT conditions like sudden sensorineural hearing loss, malignant

HBOT and Sahaj Hospital

Sahaj Hospital has always been ahead in technology and has been providing accommodation for hyperbaric oxygen therapy since 2020, soon after the introduction of the COVID-19 virus. Currently, Sahaj is having a monobaric unit of hi-tech and comfortable hyperbaric oxygen chamber. It has been placed in a dedicated and sophisticated place for safety purposes where the attendants are allowed to observe the patient.

Sahaj has done more than 1000+ cases of HBOT until now.

We will now answer some FAQs about the accommodation of Hyperbaric Chamber treatment.

How many sessions of HBOT can I take in a month?

The number of sessions may vary depending on the condition being treated.

What are some pre-HBOT precautions?

You must not carry anything that contains flammable things, lighters, matches, or anything with batteries or gases.

- Wear 100% cotton clothes because it doesn’t generate static electricity to reduce the risk of sparks and fire.

- Avoid drinking alcohol or carbonated drinks before the treatment.

- Avoid if you have flu or a cold.

- No mobile phones, watches, glasses, contacts, or jewelry are allowed inside the chamber.

What is the duration of an HBOT therapy session?

The usual duration of an HBOT session is 60–70 minutes or more, depending on the plan.

Can people with asthma take HBOT?

Yes, if the condition is not chronic; it depends on the patient’s condition and physical fitness.

Can pregnant women take HBOT?

HBOT therapy is not recommended for pregnant women considering the complications that may occur due to the pressure of the chamber.

What are the side effects of the HBOT therapy?

There are usually no side effects but mild clogging of the ear or nose; the effects may vary person to person.

Can my ears rupture under the pressure of an HBOT chamber?

The HBOT is done under careful supervision and examination, so the chances are too slim to consider.

What malfunctions may occur during the HBOT therapy?

Sahaj uses flagship-level high-end machines, so there is nearly no scope for malfunctions.

Can people with claustrophobia take the HBOT therapy?

People with claustrophobia may have trouble facing the closed chamber. But at Sahaj, acutely feared people can take HBOT as the upper half of the chamber is transparent and see through.

What precautions should be kept in mind after an HBOT session?

Nothing as such; you may get back to your usual lifestyle after the sessions.

What are the chances of getting oxygen toxicity during HBOT sessions?

Oxygen toxicity is taking too much highly concentrated oxygen which may happen in sessions too long in rare cases, we limit our sessions to 60–70 minutes which is too far from being risky.

What are the emergency protocols for HBOT treatment?

The HBOT chamber comes with an accessible emergency switch that can be pressed from inside. The chamber room as well is equipped with disaster management for electric and fire hazards, limiting the chances of any unfortunate disaster to zero.

Do we cover insurance?

Yes, HBOT therapy is covered depending on your disease, if HBOT is prescribed by your doctor and if it is covered by your insurance at the same time. It depends on your policy terms and conditions. Most insurances cover the FDA approved 14 defined conditions and many more off label conditions that your insurance may or may not cover.

like okay john but and sarah are the one straight couple i have been behind from the beginning but wtf did they do to their relationship in season 3 making sarah a cheater (again!) completely regressing her character development only to almost completely ignore it in season 4 because they realized they fucked up. + in season 1 she’s sneaking into cargo ships and allegedly haunted basements, in season 3 she’s diving into underwater caves, but in season 4 she’s scared of tunnels? she’s scared of mice??? she grew up rich in a beach town and can’t surf (but her bitch ass brother can)?????? fuck you

and poor kie, all of her screen time is with a guy who has not taken her on a date in 18 months of apparently being a couple who won’t say that he loves her back? but ofc they write in these forced moments where jj has to defend her (none of her other friends are going to bat for her over the baby turtles? but it’s okay because jj says he’s gonna kill people lol. i thought that was actually a great kiara scene but it should’ve ended with kie killing that bitch. what, john b is allowed to put topper in the hospital but kie can’t take a swing at anybody? her boyfriend has to make vague threats on her behalf? for pope, he was sinking people’s boats lmao) + you know the “date” scene at the pier was generated solely to move the plot from point a to point b (pope finding out plot relevant information) and so the writers could go, see? they’re together! and they’re so in sync, they’re both impulsive, they’ll jump off the pier for some reason! together! because they’re so crazyyy! like okay. and then the whole scene is like. less chemistry than when they were just friends lmao. fucking in the hyperbaric chamber? because physical proximity is chemistry now? jj not wanting to “let” kie go diving with him for her safety, do you know that girl at all? was she not the one running around in the sewers 2 seasons ago? the writers just do not let these girls do anything anymore :/

i think the best writing for kiara we get all season is 1) her defending the turtles and 2) when she’s involved at their store. i would’ve LOVED to see more of that in the 18 month time skip flashback scenes or even like. thinking about keeping the store open while they deal with the rest of the plot??? like if they actually took that part of the story seriously instead of making it a vague plot motivation. also they make such a big deal about it being jj’s dream and jj’s home. that’s fair but i think it could’ve been a much bigger deal to several of the characters for their own character development reasons. like i don’t want to overstate how much this should mean to kiara compared to the other characters but also is this not the exact future that she wanted for herself for 3+ seasons and now she has it??? and compared to the other characters, she and pope have the most experience helping out with their family businesses. could’ve been nice to see her being competent or whatever but no jj is the most special boy and this matters to him more than any other character. for some reason. even though he AND kiara were the two people who were sad to be “rescued” when they were stranded on a deserted island. okay. most unserious show of all time
