00:01:54,729
- So because he has clots in
the arteries of his lungs,
44
00:01:54,729 --> 00:01:56,799
the blood cannot go there easily,
45
00:01:56,799 --> 00:01:58,785
and the oxygen level is low.
46
00:01:58,785 --> 00:02:02,690
The treatment is very different
than what we were doing.
47
00:02:02,690 --> 00:02:06,588
So we had the suspicion of that
with the bedside ultrasound,
48
00:02:06,588 --> 00:02:09,394
sent him for the test,
found that he had that,
49
00:02:09,394 --> 00:02:11,989
and completely changed his therapeutics.
50
00:02:11,989 --> 00:02:15,366
Four or five days after, he
was off of the ventilator.
51
00:02:15,366 --> 00:02:18,050
He was extubated, talking to us.
52
00:02:18,050 --> 00:02:21,800
This guy has five kids,
a very charming wife.
53
00:02:22,765 --> 00:02:24,437
- That's when I just went back
54
00:02:24,437 --> 00:02:27,860
to the hospital for a monthly blood test.
55
00:02:27,860 --> 00:02:28,693
The nurse said,
56
00:02:28,693 --> 00:02:30,736
"You're lucky you have
Dr. Beaulieu as a doctor."
57
00:02:30,736 --> 00:02:32,114
I said, "You don't have to tell me that."
58
00:02:32,114 --> 00:02:34,111
- When I saw him two, three
weeks ago in my office,
59
00:02:34,111 --> 00:02:36,148
he was coming back from
Cuba, scuba diving,
60
00:02:36,148 --> 00:02:40,410
and I saw him, have that,
when you meet with this guy
61
00:02:40,410 --> 00:02:43,058
in the outpatient clinic, you're like...
62
00:02:43,058 --> 00:02:44,430
That's worth it.
63
00:02:44,430 --> 00:02:47,847
