Patient dies after bed catches fire at Bloemfontein hospital

Surely you are joking, right?

Nope, whenever I type that, some mod deletes it.

So they have unqualified nurses working at the hospitals.

Makes sense.

Yes they are known as interns.

I have been banned from saying that

Saying what?

Pelonomi Academic Hospital i.e where they do training.
Professional nurse means she was qualified and not a student.
Keep up people

Do TB sufferers still smoke cigarettes, I’ve been told it’s the worst feeling in the world to smoke when you have TB

I've seen people with terminal cardio pulmonary diseases smoke as well as people with emphysema and lung cancer. maybe you should get some medical qualifications and witness the stupidity of people.

That won't work on CD - he will just use it to continue on his normal tract which is to defame, belittle and provoke you into reacting, whereafter he will accuse you of all sorts of things. Long overdue that the mods take him to task.

Geoff, every post about me from you is an ad hominem. Maybe the mods should have a look at you? Would you like me to ask them to?

What if it’s not the patients fault and someone else that lit the match
If you awake and the bed catches fire you won’t stay on the bed and burn to death

No ignition substances are allowed near oxygen. Not even certain metals that can spark when struck. Basic safety,

Your statements are starting to make me question your educational level. Care to state it?

Then the person and the patient would have burnt in the inferno.

Oh yes you will if you watch this video, which you obviously never did:

Thanks for all the explanations. You guys truly are experts.

Defbot is a Wish version of eg.

Is this how the NHI will work then

How do these 2 things relate?

 

[RedViking]

[ForceFate]

Yes they are known as interns.

Interns are registered as student nurses

Try to see if you can work it out.

Try to see if you can work it out.

I can't. I looked at an almost similar case in the UK but couldn't work it out. So, help me work it out.

My understanding is that Oxygen on its own is not explosive. However, Oxygen rich environment can catch fire quickly and burn vigorously.

Based on contents of the article alone, the patient may have taken Oxygen prongs off and left them on the bed. Meanwhile, Oxygen was flowing and was left to flow, getting trapped under the patient's sheets.

Noticing that he was alone, he may have created a canopy with his knees while the prongs were off and pumping Oxygen into the canopy. Then I think he tried to light a cigarette, at which point the sheets and clothes caught fire, and the "bang" heard by the nurse was fire spreading quickly and sound of hot air escaping from under the canopy. Furthermore, patient may have cranked up Oxygen flow prior to lighting the cig in order to try to expel the fumes. Far fetched and highly unlikely but that's how I theorise it.

Nice go at it.
Cosmik uses a different formula.
I think you will find he would mention his service and request a parts per million.
Probably the person making the claim would also need to produce education to make said claims.
Seems he holds himself to a much lower standard.

Trolling again. On ignore for this post.

Every time i ask you to provide the same substance, that you expect anyone else to provide.
You call troll and ignore.
So you are actually trolling by having these "standards".
Thank you for your service ranger/delta/recce/whichever.

Nope, whenever I type that, some mod deletes it.

I got the same thing, except its whenever i point out other people doing stuff.
Then it applies as a warning to me.
Some guy posts something, i reply and ask stuff.
Report it if it breaks rules.
Both posts get deleted and im on a warning lol.

Let me know if you need me to chuck it out for ya.

Lighting a match in a rich oxygen atmosphere will cause an explosion and subsequent fire. Hence the bang heard. and bed on fire.

You don't know much about science, do you? Yet you jump in boots first and comment on things you know nothing about every time.

Oxygen does not actually burn, so I don't know where your explosion will be coming from

Do you know much about science? Me, naw not really? I do know that you DO NOT want oil in lines and valves in oxygen service. Why because the oxidizer reacts with the oil and sets it on fire, which in a closed system such as a pipe makes for some pretty nasty sudden over pressures aka explosions due to how violently the oil will burn in said oxygen. I'm guessing there are other oxidizers which are worse, but oxygen is the only one which is relatively easy to "make" (just cool the **** out of ordinary air and take it out with fractionation towers essentially)

But to science a little, here is a nice video of an open flame (even more energetic than striking a match) reacting to a pure oxygen environment open to atmosphere, like a hospital bed.
