It is pretty well known that the one of the best places to get an infection is at a hospital.

Why do you say that? I would assume the complete opposite since hospitals are supposed to be sterile.


They are but there is only so much you can do to prevent infection. I had a Total Knee Replacement patient that had an infection and had to have the new knee removed so the infection could be cleaned out before getting another replacement put in. It sucks but happens more than you would like.

I had open Fractures on both bones in Forearm and my right Femur . I was a mile from Lane in Zachary but EMS brought me to the Trama center at the General and that probaly saved my life. With a serious truma your body sends out toxins and I developed rhabdomyolysis and my kiidneys almost killed me. Taking Tahj to that hospital could have saved his life. As for as infections,Ow er the next four yrs I had over 18 hospitals stays between New Orleans and Houston most due to infections. Everytime they would have take out my hardware and put new stuff in. So I'm just saying whomever made that call probaly saved his life. Infection probaly is his biggest threat now. But it sounds like he is doin well. Hope that continues .

doesn't seem like he had things "all together" or that he was a normal 36 year old. read some of those twitter and instagram posts. he had a website called swag central


I'm pretty sure he was being facetious regarding Winey.

Ok- I hope he was, anyway.....

Just got some great news on Tahj after surgery and recovery today:

Update after surgery:
They removed the bullet, no plate was needed (praise God) the doctor was very pleased with everything he saw ... He put the feeding tube in and sewed him up! Time to start healing. They will take him off the ventilator tomorrow. If he does good , after that he will be moved to a regular room!

His family and friends really appreciate all the thoughts and prayers! They have been reading the thread and asked for this to be posted to get out some accurate info on his condition.
