No, the DR stated the procedure takes 30 minutes, which is likely true, but irrelevant because the hospital he worked at doesn't provide the procedure.
The patient was at the VA hospital that does do the procedure within 7 hours, yet the disease was to far progressed to perform the surgery. That didn't happen in 7 hours or 30 minutes.
I'm not ignoring basic facts, this story is being used to scare people, and it is intentionally misleading. I'm not saying the issue isn't real, I'm saying in the instance it isn't. The man died because of the progression of his disease when he entered the hospital.
The disease is bad enough, there is no need to push BS narratives.
