you told me....
oh
I don't remember.
What is not fixable.
"Thorocotomy is a procedure that allows the surgeon to directly view a lung, and the surrounding area. Additional procedures may be done, such as removing part or all of a lung if a mass is present. One or more chest tubes are placed in the chest temporarily to drain fluid and air after surgery"
Who is the hell wrote that? I bet you they never had it done. Try scraping the chest wall so it bleeds real bad and using an acid type of substance to make it bleed more. That way when they put the 2, not one, but 2 chest tubes in and reinflate the lung, the lung heals against the chest wall. Takes care of the pleural space since now there is none. Temporary?? Define temporary, the tubes were in for at least a week, forgot to mention they cut half your body open and if they can't stretch your ribs open enough they take them out. Oh, don't leave out the blood transfusion in case you lose too much blood. Never mind forgetting to tell you they cut your arm muscles so when you wake up and can't lift your arm then you know why. Never mind you spend 3 months in the hospital because they won't release you with a fever.
Now, where does the air go after both side are surgically fixed? Where do you think?? When it goes there, what does it do??? I am no doctor, but I bet you can at least guess and get it mostly right.
