‘Amazing’: Queensland mum uses electric car to ‘save’ son’s life with dialysis during power outage (www.theguardian.com)

An electric vehicle owner has used her car’s emergency power system to run her 11-year-old son’s lifesaving dialysis machine and another has ridden to the rescue of his neighbours after devastating storms cut power in south-east Queensland....

ProvableGecko,

Technically yes, they ran the machine off the car battery but most hemodialysis patients don’t drop dead if they miss a session for a day. Also they could have used any vehicle to drive the kid to a dialysis center or a hospital which are probably required to have generators in Australia as they are elsewhere.

I heard that and I was like thank god for the day the algorithm suggested this channel to me. What a gem!

ProvableGecko,

As soon as the health system is out I’m taking myself out. It’s just not worth it without medicine

ProvableGecko,

It’s like a dot matrix printer for the sky
