How high can we survive WITHOUT OXYGEN?

**How high can we survive WITHOUT OXYGEN?** is the thirteenth episode of Human Buddy.

## Plotline

Brain, clearly in a delirium state, expresses joy that they're almost at the summit of Everest. Concerned about him, Heart asks if he's okay. The lungs answer that the Brain has hypoxia. Heart directs his concern to the lungs, but is met with rudeness. He gets defensive over it, so Liver reminds him that the Lungs are working in a tough condition. Noting that Heart's still confused, Liver explains that the Human is now on Everest due to a social media trend, leaving Heart greatly appalled.

The organs start figuring out what to do, so Heart calls the Doctor for assistance. Doctor enters the scene with a joke, but is ignored by the organs. Heart gets straight to the point and orders him to get them oxygen, but Doctor says no, justifying that the show needs sticks and they should figure a way out themselves. Heart further negotiates making the Brain function as normal, but is rejected again as it would be an incorrect portrayal of hypoxia. Doctor continues listing the consequences of hypoxia, including pulmonary and cerebral edema. Liver groans hopelessly at the mention of it, as it meant that the human would have trouble breathing. With the click of Doctor, the Brain and the Lungs are shown to accumulate liquid, which would also lead to death, as stated by the Doctor. At last, the Heart gets the Doctor to help them if they could convince the human to give up on the challenge.

Though Liver shows doubt for Heart, the latter carries out his plan. He attempts to warn Brain about the severe consequences of climbing Everest. Sadly, Brain is in such a hysterical state that he cannot comprehend the severity of it and insists on going to the top.

Realizing his plan is not working, Heart encourages Brain to go with his decision, but persuades him to rest before the final stretch. Luckily, Brain complies, while Liver is puzzled by the effectiveness of Heart's plan. Heart responds to Liver by explaining that doing so would bring more oxygen to the vital organs, which hopefully lets the Brain gain some clarity. When Liver compliments Heart, the Brain seemingly gained clarity and appears shocked at being so high above sea level, before being more motivated to get to the top. Having enough, Heart berates the Brain and demands that he gives up on the challenge. He then emphasizes the danger of it, pointing out that it is an extreme thing that even people that are well-prepared could die during the process. The brain is saddened by the fact that they have to give up, but ultimately agrees to quit.

Heart calls for the Doctor again, who proceeds to give a respirator to the organs, soothing the Lungs. Liver gives out another compliment for Heart for his efforts. Yet, Doctor warns them that they are still ill, so getting down would be a challenge. As Heart tries to bargain with Doctor, the human goes down Mount Everest by planking and dabbing, causing the organs to protest to the Brain.
