The alive ones are: Nguyễn Thị Bình has gone downhill during the last years. In a video from November she could still sit, but looks ghoulish. Also seems like she now lives at 108 Hospital, as the video was probably filmed there. Most notable out of the living ones and won't die off radar. However it might take a while, Vietnamese politicians traditionally seem to spend around one to two years there before they finally die. Trần Phương was wheelchairbound last year, but still leads Hanoi's University of Business and Technology. Nguyễn Khánh hasn't made appearances recently as far as I know. Đoàn Duy Thành is also still alive. New photo of Nguyen Thi Binh. Wheelchair bound but looks better than usual. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, on former Indian Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda - his main ailment seems to be diabetes, has been reported in the past that he's diabetic. Very ill last year with complications from diabetes and falls, now seemingly doing fine. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Genuine question to save myself the trouble of looking it up - why would they do a tracheostomy on a patient with advanced COPD? I would have thought that it was the lungs that were fucked - how would a tracheotomy help that? Ease of administration of oxygen/medication? Would that work better than a simple oxygen mask?

I would have thought that it was the lungs that were fucked - how would a tracheotomy help that? Ease of administration of oxygen/medication? Would that work better than a simple oxygen mask? My guess would be that the COPD blockage in her lungs would be so advanced at this stage that the only way she can survive (for the time being at least) is having oxygen supplied to her 24/7. Having the constant supply of oxygen in her throat is easier than a face mask because she doesn't have to strain herself breathing in and out, the oxygen would just flow into her lungs. You have to remember this is Israel and as seen with Ariel Sharon case, some families will go to absolutely extreme lengths before letting their elders die.
