In this part of the book, Millie Montag comes close to
killing herself when she takes her whole bottle of sleeping pills all at once. Guy
Montag has to call a couple of men to come and save her life. The men bring two
machines with them to try to save her.
Both of the machines
are meant to clean all the poisons out of her body. One of them is inserted into her
stomach and it pumps out the contents of that organ. This will get rid of what's left
of the pills in there.
The second machine actually has to
take out all her blood and replace it. The man says that if you don't replace a
person's blood, they will die even after their stomach is
pumped.
From these two machines, we can see that this sort
of problem is very common in this society. That tells us the people must be
fundamentally unhappy.
