#ive looked far too much into this but if its anything at least rgg got me to look into lung conditions so. theres a positive ig

[todayisafridaynight]

i wish mine said some cliche line like ‘if im going to hell im dragging you with me’ and then andre ended up in the mythical land og america that would crack me up

also on the sidelines, same on the research especially with masato ITS KILLING ME I WANT TO KNOW WHAT EXACTLY IS WITH HIM DGSHDVD did u find anything close to being believable?

imagine some dude says 'i'm taking you to hell with me' and you just end up in your backyard

and brother. i am going to throw up from what i found. under the cut lol

the STRONGEST TL;DR IMAGINABLE AND LOUDEST DISCLAIMER IM A DORK ON THE INTERNET WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT MEDICINE DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH FOREVER AND ALWAYS OK BYE .

that said the closest thing i could find MAYBE comparable to his condition both in acquisition and symptoms/effects is pulmonary hypertension, but- from what impulsive on-and-off researching i could find- the exact stats for the survival rates of infants with [primary] pulmonary hypertension in the 80's isn't really clear. there's this study done on- presumably- adults between the 1980's and 1990's in japan, and even here there's 61/223 adults who die at least five years after diagnosis, so idk about a baby in the 80s

as for symptoms and acquisition on why i think it's the closest, pulmonary hypertension can be acquired through lack of oxygen after birth opposed to coming from a virus/bacteria or complications in the womb (like pulmonary hypoplasia which is due to underdeveloped or compressed lungs before birth- though pulmonary hypertension can develop alongside it). severe cold can make it difficult to breathe, and i don't imagine being put in a locker helps that much either. a common symptom of pulmonary hypertension can also be bluish/pale skin and i mean. lol.

again i am by no means a professional LMAO DEAR GOD NO so if anyone else has ideas or want to correct me on something for the love of god please do so im allowed to be stupid bout other things but not this. i know rgg probably had a brain and a half when considering masato's condition but i think it's worth trying to find a real-life equivalent so i'd like to make sure i got things right

and all of this isn't even to START on life after a double lung transplant but this post has gone on long enough 💀💀
