...half years ago Linda Ferris underwent Caesarean section, in the birth of a daughter, Andrea, at the Pasadena Bayshore Hospital. During the birth, the Ferrises claimed, Andrea suffered the oxygen deprivation that caused her to become permanently brain-damaged; according to doctors, she will remain at the mental and physical level of a two-year-old for the rest of her life, which could be 75 more years...
After ten minutes he could no longer muster the strength to hold on. His breathing became labored, and his heart was beating at a noticeably slower rate. The color of his skin, starting at his feet, began to lighten as it became starved for oxygen and blood. We watched death move upward in neat, horribly incremental stages. After 45 minutes, it embraced all of him, and it was over...
There were many moments before and during the operation when it looked as though Clark would not see his wife again. He was in the final stages of cardiomyopathy, a progressive deterioration of the heart muscle. Clark's skin appeared blue from lack of oxygen, fluid was collecting in his vital organs, and his ravaged heart could pump only one liter of blood a minute, about one-seventh the normal rate. When Clark's heart started fluttering abnormally a day before the implantation was scheduled, DeVries decided the operation could not wait. His patient, he said, "probably would...
Brown and Sprague acknowledge that their harvests are bigger than the average tongman's. But the fact is that none of the watermen are getting huge hauls these days. Nitrogen, carried into the bay by runoff from neighboring farm lands, has lowered the Chesapeake's oxygen level. The primary victims are the oysters, whose numbers have been declining in recent years. The secondary victims are watermen like Brown, whose family has been working the water for three generations, and Sprague, a Californian who was sent to Maryland as a serviceman and liked it so well that he stayed...
...seepage was traced to a ¾-in.-long crack in the engine's manifold, where hydrogen and oxygen come together under extremely high temperatures and pressures. That crack was the result of an inadequately hardened weld ordered up to repair some damage sustained during manufacture. But when the No. 1 engine was removed, its replacement also showed signs of leakage. This time oxygen was pouring out of a heat exchanger, a situation that might have triggered an explosion and fire...
