This had been my prior exposure to tracheostomies.
This is more like reality, well kind of. I actually couldn't find a good one of "reality"... This one needs "copious, creamy, pale yellow secretions" bubbling at the entrance, with the whole tube being buried in neck fat and flab as the patient gasps for breath, looking confused and fragile. I actually wish I could see a trach like this one below. My poor patients...

uh...thanks for the post, I think, uh....
Trachs are so hard - I always keep an extra handy and walk by frequently. The larger the horse, the nastier the secretions, the quicker they clog.
I have seen some of those. For those non-medical people, they were probably gagging by now :)
