Hi Tom

It is a great story.

Such a patient in the ICU at Jewish Hospital was the first in Kentucky to be treated
with this amazing new technology last week. According to Dr. Lonnie Rouben,
attending pulmonologist, "I have worked in ICU for years, but I have never seen a
patient with such severe lung injury from this type of insult improve this dramatically so
quickly. I believe that liquid ventilation has the potential to revolutionize the way we
take care of such critically ill patients."

It is a sad commentary on the American medical system, that this decades old technology is still not available to the many dying who need it.
