re: Mike Leach rushed to Jackson, MS hospital

Did he not receive treatment because he was alone or because no one knew cpr etc?


Wonder if that dude who put out that epic transfer graphic the other day calling Leach out feels like shite

He’s battled pneumonia this season, too. You may have noticed, Leach has had a persistent, hacking cough. I’m told that Leach didn’t exactly collapse at his home, as some reported. He’s not brain dead, as others have indicated on social media. The football coach was found on the sofa, unresponsive, after what some think was 10-15 minutes. EMTs showed up and did their jobs. Doctors then worked all day Sunday to sedate Leach, stabilize him, and are now beginning to assess his condition. Does it sound bad? Very much so. But as one member of his inner circle said: “He’s still with us.”

This is from the SECR thread

Folks, Take a CPR class... The odds of survival increase dramtically when CPR/Defib is applied in the early moments of a cardiac event.

not trying to be a prick, but this is 100% false. you're conflating a cardiac arrest (person w/ no pulse) and a heart attack. you don't do CPR if a person is having a heart attack. heart attacks can't even be diagnosed unless there's an EKG performed

a cardiac arrest and a heart attack are both cardiac events, but they are different, and they are treated differently

i hope some of the stuff im seeing on twitter is fake news.

i don't know the guy but i've been thinking about the pirate all day. hoping for a miracle.

Well you gotta do something while you wait for the ambulance to arrive. I imagine they probably found him on the ground unresponsive. If that's the case, you can't see a rise and fall of the chest and can't detect a pulse, you do CPR until you can get an AED or until the ambulance arrives.

Ewwww, does he not have insurance to go to a non shithole hospital?

St Dominics and Ms Baptist Medical Center were both on diversion yesterday. It was either transfer him to UMMC or transfer him to a Merit hospital. I highly recommend avoiding 90+% of the merit health facilities unless you want to be cared for by a nurse practitioner in the ICU. Prayers sent for CML and his loved ones.
