How many times did Team @NYULangone save my life? Probably in the 1.5-2.0 range.
(a) When I came to the ER having trouble breathing from #Coronavirus aka #Covid19 and they put me on oxygen ASAP: 0.3 (not sure I would necessarily have died then & there).

(b) When they gave me an emergency intubation, put me on a ventilator, then successfully extubated me six days later: 1.0. This is a solid score -- it was like something out of "ER" or "Chicago Hope" -- and why ventilators are so crucial. #Covid_19
(c) General management of #coronavirus-caused respiratory problems: 0.4. (I'm 44 and generally healthy, but I did have asthma as a kid plus occasional exercise-induced asthma and bronchitis as an adult, which probably made me more susceptible to #Covid19.)
So they saved my life maybe ~1.7 times. Thank you, Team @NYULangone - and my husband and our son and my family and friends thank you as well.
