By the way, look at that horribly mangled, blown-off and then reconstructed ear following the assassination attempt. Why, that bandage he wore for a few days must’ve been truly miraculous. Amazing /s
yeah since we’ve been talking krasnov in general, who would have been 50 some odd years old when shingrix and zostavax were released to the public, he’s not in the “never get shingles” group since he almost definitely got chicken pox when he was young. glad we’re on the same page.
I honestly can’t tell what’s satire with him anymore so forgive me if this was a joke, but I saw a quote where he said he takes like 3,000mg of tylenol daily to keep his blood thin because “who would want thick blood?”
Why are neck IVs worse than hand IVs? Does that implied a ruptured vein in your arm? I have never heard of anyone getting a neck IV but I’m also not in the medical field
I’ve never heard of a neck IV. never seen one. I don’t work in medicine but I am more of a professional patient. Have lived at least a year and a half of my life inside a hospital (yes I have done the maths properly) to the point where said hospital had a “this is [whatever my username at the moment is]'s room” for like ten years on the door, and if I got admitted, it was my room as soon as it was vacant.
(it was a nice single room in the corner with a good view of the big tree across the parking lot and had an adjoining single room connected by accordion wall. If it was a slow week in the hospital they’d let me open up the accordion, push the other gurney to the wall and have a human sized room instead of a prisoner sized room. They were wonderfully accommodating)
Anyways my point is, if they are at the point of having to start a line in the neck, they’d probably do what’s called a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) line (run a larger catheter from an arm or leg to the heart, used for longer term stays or more caustic liquid medications) or a heart port (used for more caustic medications than PICC lines) instead. The jugular vein I would think has too much pressure for a vein to accept an IV catheter without springing one hell of a leak, but i am only an advanced layperson. They did accidentally start going up my carotid instead of down to my aorta when placing my PICC all those years ago, but it didn’t leave a bruise and I doubt it would. Also we’d see iv ports on his arm (mine hung down to my wrist). But you never know.
like i said, not familiar with the procedure. would we be pumping saline in the carotid to increase pressure? this is completely outside the fields of medicine i have experience with.
Not in the medical field, but yes I think you got it right. I saw similar with my grandma, the nurses started with less visible areas - arms legs, later moved to feet and finally hands. She didn’t make it to the neck, but I have to think it’s a sign they are running out of places to poke
Both conditions are unpleasant, but I had a stronger gut instinct towards staph. It’s possible he has shingles because I suspect he never received the vaccine, and his condition is likely not being adequately cared for.
He’s probably receiving the same level of treatment as someone on their deathbed, dragged out for press coverage. Your family has to genuinely care about you.

I believe the bullet skimmed the top of an over ketchup’d hot dog before whizzing nearby his ear at this point.
Looks like it could be shingles. That shit can really hurt.
People, particularly old people, with weak immune systems get it pretty often.
I’ve looked into it further and no longer think it’s shingles. Too bad, since shingles can be extremely painful.
There’s a vaccine for that.
All the vaccine does is: make it happen less often and less severe. Vaccines are not panaceas.
People with shingrex often never get shingles unless immune compromised.
Younger people who had the Zoster vaccine never get shingles.
Shingrex is less shingles, not some jackass panacea.

Mf’s probably on every blood thinner known to man to keep his clogged ass McDonalds arteries open.

Not tylenol, it was aspirin.
A massive overdoes of tylenol would be toxic to his liver and do us all a favor. But we’re not so lucky, sadly.
3g of Tylenol isn’t an OD tho, it’s right on the line of otc/rx prescription dosage. Every day? Abusive, damaging consumption.
I was very off lmao, it’s like 300mg daily not 3000. And yeah it’s aspirin. https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2026/01/02/nx-s1-5665112/trump-aspirin-325-81-mg-low-dose-cardiac-stroke-heart-attack-bleeding
Looks like they graduated from hand IVs to neck…
Which would be horrible news for virtually any patient, but in this case I feel most wouldn’t have the same reaction
Nahhh it’s just “frequent handshaking” ;)
We can only hope that someone shakes him vigorously by the neck.
Hopefully with a rope.
I am in favor of this medical treatment they call “noose”
Guillotine gives the closest shave.
I like to watch the treatment work its magic. But, if all we have is guillotines…. 🤷♂️🥰

One procedure would be a neck arterial shunt to try and alleviate dementia symptons from poor brain blood flow.

It looks like staphylococcus.
Oh, I was thinking shingles. Which I understand to be incredibly uncomfortable (not sure about a staph infection though it still isn’t pleasant)

Shingles there is unusual, typically shingles break out around the mid body.
Shingles can happen anywhere, even on the face (ouch). I agree mid-body is more common.
I disagree, but only slightly. I think his antibiotic resistant necrotizing fasciitis is polymicrobial.
Must be that bullshit-resistant strain, to have been able to grow so close to his talking hole
Man if some kind of outbreak happens because they can’t let him die it would fit his legacy
Very likely, but how messed up do you have to be for it to be attacking your neck that hard, while under the best medical care in the country?
Should have used a more concentrated embalming fluid.
If that’s how bad it looks there imagine what his piss and shit covered dick looks like 🔬
Mmmmmmnnnno.
