    Any med school student should know how to macguyver an airway in an emergency. They literally teach it in civilian lifesaving classes these days. My guess is this guy was such an asshole, his entire medical staff was like “bruh I am not making the hole, you do it.”

      I don’t know which med school or civilian lifesaving courses you attend - but emergency cricothyrotomy surely isn’t a skill that is taught and mastered by any of these I teach.

      Cric is a delicate skill that needs repetition and knowledge - it’s far from easy and not even close to what is shown in some bad TV shows.

          Hell, I’d jab a pen in your throat right now if I suspected it would somehow improve your health
