N.B. I am a retired Registered Nurse with over 25 years of hospital based acute care experience, including Pulmonary Medicine. And I have personally had a collapsed lung and chest tube insertion, so I can empathize with that as well.
Miss problem-with-cyclists checked the oxygen level along with the other vitals, it was 80's but not panic inducing low. I'm not second-guessing the treatment.
Except maybe, waking up during the tube insertion and take it from me you DO feel it regardless of what they tell you. That had nothing to do with someone hating on cyclists though.
