A fly

This is about a patient who had a tracheostomy. While he was still undergoing post-operative care in hospital, his wound was being cleaned and dressed, when the ENT specialist warned that there was a fly in the ward. Unfortunately, before anything could be done, the fly entered the opening and within a few minutes the patient was gasping for breath. Nothing could be done and he died shortly after.

Death
The certainty of death could sweeten all lives with precious and fragrant drop of light-heartedness. But all you pharmacist souls have soured it into a foul-tasting drop of poison, which makes the whole life repulsive

Okay..so I'm a bit morbid...I find it fasinating. Death is lifes starting gun. When we hear of a death we seek pleasure in the lives we live. Without death life would be nothingness, no meaning.

Hey, that was pretty interesting. Yup, died from swallowing a fly. I guess that really does happen.
