The Rise of the Medical Emergency, Pt. 13
On it goes...
UDATED: Previous version said Sergio Ramos is retired. He is NOT retired. My bad! According to this article:
After a year to forget, due to his never-ending injuries, PSG defender Sergio Ramos is on the way to a contract renewal
Sergio Ramos has finally begun to shine at PSG.
What’s right is right, even if no one’s right about it.
Well, like Sergio Ramos, the famous Real Madrid defender, who some outlets had reported faced retirement with a made-up condition they were calling “old calf syndrome,” (source: thesun.co.uk) we have many stories of injury or — not even injury sometimes, just pain and malaise and a body that doesn’t work right. Here we have a cricket player in a knee brace. Don’t cricket players end up in knee braces sometimes? Well:
1) What happened to MS Dhoni's knee? Star cricketer facing medical emergency
Source: sportskeeda.com
May 31 — “Former Indian cricket team captain MS Dhoni has been making headlines recently due to a knee injury that has caused concern among fans and cricket enthusiasts.”
“The specifics of the injury have not been fully disclosed, but reports suggest that the 41-year-old has been struggling with knee pain for some time. It's believed that the injury may have been aggravated during the Indian Premier League 2023 edition, where Dhoni guided Chennai Super Kings to the title.
The intensity of Dhoni's knee pain is yet to be determined […]”
“Once the extent of the injury is determined, the medical team will develop a customized treatment plan for the player's rehabilitation and recovery.”
Hoping to assess the level of pain? At once an absurd and horrifying prospect.
2) Baltimore nurse and boyfriend save man's life during mid-flight emergency

May 31 — “Emily Raines, an acute care nurse at Greater Baltimore Medical Center, was on Southwest Flight 553 when she and her boyfriend heard a call from a flight attendant for anyone with medical experience on the plane - as a fellow passenger was experiencing a medical emergency.”
“The ailing man had fallen unconscious with no pulse.”
‘The situation grew dire as the man slumped over in his seat, his face completely purple. "It was quite alarming, obviously, seeing his face look that way," Raines said.
After performing multiple rounds of compressions, Raines was able to revive the man roughly seven minutes before the plane landed. "I would say about seven minutes before we landed is when we got him back to life," she said.’
‘"We're still not completely sure what happened. He didn't have a heart attack, but his heart stopped. They believe that multiple factors played a role, mostly due to his low oxygen levels," Raines explained.’ [emphasis added]
Headline: Shotted nurse and shotted boyfriend, baffled by obvious vaccine injury, barely restrain themselves from making a Tik-Tok video on the airplane after saving man’s life. It reminds me of the Coast Guard’s fairly gratuitous Go-pro footage of rescuing that little 3 year-old girl from the cruise ship — complete with fist bumps and a gift teddy bear and everything.

May 31 — “A Clayton County K-9 died after a medical emergency last week, police say.
At 2 p.m. on May 25, Wade suffered a medical emergency inside a patrol car while at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport.
Officers rushed the K-9 to a nearby medical facility, where a veterinarian said the dog passed away.
It is unclear what the medical emergency was.
Wade was taken to a local veterinary school where police said he got a necropsy performed.”
A necroscopy? Dog’s getting better treatment than people do. Let’s see if we can get them to test for the spike protein.
Nadal retired... remember him clutching his chest during a match last year....
