EVERY time they placed negative pressure with their syringe on one chest tube, they were drawing air INTO his lung through the other chest tube.

I can not picture this in my mind as hard as I try....just cannot see how the set up is connected to cause this but I am sorry for your experience....
As you said, we are all human and people do things, somctimes incorrectly, with the best of intentions. Patients in the ICUs often cannot tolerate anything out of the ordinary and small things can quickly turn into huge things.
Eagle...I am sorry your stay was so awful...glad you have one to one nursing at home
