This story of this rescue is one of the best stories of my entire 66 years of life. I NEVER thought that they'd be found alive; that they were and they were all rescued is freakin' unbelievable! Obviously the divers did the hardest, most risky work, but watching "Thirteen Lives" and "The Rescue", it was ALL of the thousands of people working together who made the rescue possible. Had the villagers (and others) not persistently been draining the cave, it couldn't have happened. That so many people of all races, religion, language, etc. were able to work TOGETHER for good gives me hope for the world.

Not gonna lie Mr. Harris, I was watching from Wisconsin and I had doubt it would work either. No one here thought they were coming out alive, esp as the days passed, but you guys all pulled it off and brought all 13 of them out of the dark. Safely at that. Your skills to get the dosage just right is amazing. They were starving and dehydrated, which adds more risk and challenges for that part of your skills and rescue. To watch the videos from the divers perspective gives a person a new found respect for that profession 💯

So much courage was shown here. A doctor attempting something completely unheard of in his field knowing failure would absolutely lead to dire consequences for him professionally. A group of civilians being asked to do something also unheard of. And a municipality willing to relinquish, albeit somewhat reluctantly, control over the operational phase of one of the most technically complicated rescues ever attempted on this planet. As a former firefight/paramedic I can fully appreciate how difficult it is for municipalities to give “outsiders” carte blanche to take control of any scene even when they clearly are more qualified. After watching the documentary I can honestly say the level of courage, professionalism, and creativity shown during this operation is unparalleled and everyone involved deserves the title “hero.”

Everyone who went into that cave had an important job to do. The Brit cave divers were exceptional and knew which divers from other countries were reliable for this job. Dr Richard Harris and his pal Craig Challen had probably the most intense job of all administering the anaesthesia. Also the 4 Thai Navy Seals who babysat the boys from the time they were found did an excellent job. One of them - Pak - was a doctor and a great help to Dr Richard Harris.Then sadly one Seal died about 12 mths later from a blood infection he picked up in the cave. The mountain rated as the fifth most dangerous cave in the world, claimed the life of an experienced Navy Seal. So very very sad and brought home to everyone how dangerous it was in there. It was a huge Team effort, 150 divers from countries all over the world. A thousand Thai volunteers helping, it was heartwarming to watch it all unfold. The elation we all felt when the last boy was out, was tempered the next day with the sad news that Dr Harris's father had passed away in Australia, as he was coming out of the cave for the last time. This event was a rollercoaster, and quite rightly the Thai government are very protective of these boys.

The Rick Stanton book sent me to this video. It was this aspect of the rescue that seems so very impossible and miraculous. I had to know more. A sane person wouldn’t take such a risk, and yet Richard Harris is clearly sane and wonderful and was forced into an impossible situation. When the team tested the rescue equipment on some children, they were not permitted to administer the drugs as part of the test. That the football players’ respirations sometimes dropped to three per minute is crazy.
@danielcurtis1434

I’m not an expert but the drug combination he used was absolutely perfect!!! He used alprazolam and ketamine for sedation supported by atropine. The two sedatives used are the least respiratory depressive drugs you could have. The atropine would keep everything in check. Barbiturates or opioids maybe etomidate all risk serious respiratory depression. I think the only possible addition would be cisapride to ensure the boys don’t vomit while unconscious. But given the accuracy of the news that or a similar drug was probably used.
@s208richard8
Жыл бұрын
Atropine slows the heart rate, but more importantly was used to dry up fluids in the mouth to mitigate the risk of the boys choking on their own saliva. Ketamine had to be injected two more times by the divers themselves along the way, through the boys' wet suits. (Source BBC Podcast with the divers).

I was in Thailand on a scuba diving holiday when this all happened. (My level of ability by comparison to the rescue divers would be similar to a child with a kite vs an astronaut) There were a LOT of international divers involved, some of them who live on Koh Tao where I was diving. I feel honoured to have been allowed to clean some of their equipment, and buy them a drink. I still don’t think it’s possible to do what they actually did, but the did it. Diving down into what I would consider hell, and snatching those kids right out of the devils fingers. Yes, btw- the party, across Thailand, was euphoric.
