The headline oversimplifies a bit: Man left in coma after tearing bicep at gym wakes up to find he’s lost his arm:
Holy cats, he strained so hard he put himself in a coma? Not so much:
“I tore my bicep in the gym, and had some surgery a couple of days later,” he remembered.
“Two weeks after that I had a postoperative infection called necrotizing fasciitis, which gave me 11 major surgeries during a 10 day coma.”
He caught an infection in a National Health System hospital in Britain.
I would comfort myself and say that couldn’t happen here, but who knows?
I’d better take it easier.
