She technically had oxygen as long as people were providing proper CPR. How quick they began CPR and the quality of CPR is going to be a big factor though.

She is. That was actually confirmed, as per TMZ.

Spreading kneejerk misinformation on Twitter by "Somebody I know", instead of awaiting the facts.
It's got my nomination, too.

I'm sure everyone is pulling for her but that doesn't mean everyone wants to ignore reality.

I just had a waves of happiness to the likes I haven't felt in a very long time.
Let's just take a step back here.
Speaking as someone who deals with this every goddamn day, and mirroring the opinion of other actual physicians in this thread - it's too soon to assume anything. So wish her well, hope for the best, and wait for details.
Being realistic doesn't mean assuming the worst. It isn't engaging in false hope either.
It's waiting and seeing.

i was in the ICU on a ventilator for 11 days or so with sepsis (had heart issues as well), and i was stable most of the time afaik. after i was taken off the ventilator i was walking around the hospital on my own within 2-3 days. i was 32 and in fairly good physical condition though so that probably helped.. but still, people are taken off ventilators and they can recover, i'm living proof =) i was basically back to my former self in just a few months, after eating my mom's cookings and resting a lot.
it felt.. pretty fucking amazing to walk and function again. i really hope Carrie gets to experience that incredible relief.. her case is of course totally different, my heart never stopped so.. i dunno. i have to think she can recover, the human brain is an amazing organ, just maybe she didn't suffer too much damage in the most important areas.. maybe enough oxygen somehow got through.
He was in such a rush to scoop the death of a human being for Internet glory that he didn't bother to check his facts. That's disgusting on multiple levels and any way you slice it.
And whats reality? You have no idea of her actual situation. Or maybe you're a doctor at the hospital she's in?

Cool, so lets just spread that misinformation to 85k followers on Twitter. That's totally ok.
Man, you really wanna make this thread about how much better you are than everyone else.

Just let it go.
Yeah I can see it that way. Posting about it on social media isn't something my friend did, thats for sure.

Or he could've been in shock and responded without thinking. Something very common when someone is in shock.

Nobody is saying that. Discussing medical realities though seems fine to me, there's not much else for us to do here. If that's too "pessimistic" for you I don't know what to tell you.

Pull through Carrie we all need you.
I mean, I can't speak for others, but my first inkling of thought when I hear a celebrity has passed isn't to jump on social media and deliver a RIP to all my followers. But people are weird creatures.
umm no. Even trump at 3 am realizes hes tweeting to millions of people. This guy knew exactly what he was doing.
There is being pessimistic and their is being honest and realistic.

I didn't mean for it to come off that way. My thoughts and prayers are with Carrie and her family.

I'd recommend reading the topmost post of this page. You'll gain a greater understanding.

Just woke up from a nap. Expected to wake up to the update that she passed on. Instead the update is she is in stable condition. What a fighter. What a miracle

Mhmm. It's not necessarily good, but this is going way better than I thought.

Yeah, just took a closer look at the situation and I see that the update isn't as good as I originally thought. Still happy to hear she is in stable condition.

Hope she pulls through. I was getting very emotional for a while there and was refreshing this thread every minute or so.

Yeah as others have pointed out, "stable" in an of itself isn't good or bad, necessarily. In this case: supposedly she wasn't breathing on her own for a while. She could be stable and still have brain damage.
I'm really hoping she's okay.
I'm really hoping she's okay.
Having a nice dinner with the friends right now, been following this news every half and hour or so, I hope her stability means she'll recover from this with the least damage possible. I've never been a Star Wars fan, in fact I watched all the movies prior to TFA premiering, but I can see why she's such a big figure for people who grew up with this franchise. Here's to a speedy recovery Carrie Fisher, may the force be with you.

Yeah, as long as this battle is being fought (like the professionals in this thread have explained, stable doesn't mean she's in the clear), we need this for every page.
Rogue One Spoilers
I saw Rogue One on Monday,
I totally teared up at the end when we see Fisher's ANH-era Leia cameo. It really hit me at that scene who Princess Leia is and the vital role Fisher has played bringing that character to life
Myself and other physicians (and others, too) in the thread are just urging people to wait before getting either too excited or depressed. There is a very large amount of information that is not currently, and likely never will be, available. Folks asked what "stable" meant and we told them. Without more information, "stable" just means "not currently dying."
I'd recommend we just try to stay relaxed, hope for the best, and we'll see how it plays out.
