Alex Smith - WOW

Advertisement
And if he hadn't had the best possible medical care, he would have lost his leg and quite possibly his life. Sepsis kills more than 270,000 people every year and gets no media attention or government funding whatsoever! Ironically, many people who are dying from Covid are actually dying from sepsis, the body's overwhelming response to infection such as Covid. But 270,000 people a year dying from sepsis is no big deal to the government. Or the more than 13,8000 amputations a year from sepsis
 
My wife had both hands and both feet amputated because of sepsis. Sorry, but the stuff Alex Smith went through is nothing compared to my wife. All because a crappy ER doctor didn't do his job

What would really be heroic is if Alex Smith would use his public platform to raise money and awareness of sepsis, but that will never happen

Sorry to hear about your wife. Thank God she pulled through. She is truly an inspiration to us all.

Looks like a tough woman
 
This is heroic...

My wife's kidneys, lungs, and liver all failed...she had a heart attack and 16 oz fluid by her left lung/heart the doctors couldn't remove for a week. She was given less than a 5% chance of survival but she beat septic shock. She's had both hands and both feet amputated as stated above, PLUS total left hip replacement due to AVN (Bo Jackson had AVN in his hip), double cataract surgery due to high fevers and total loss of hearing in right ear from excessive doses of antibiotics.

She walked less than 3 months after having all her limbs amputated and nearly every organ in her body shutting down...that is simply amazing but since she isn't a famous athlete no one gives a ****!

Did you know Mark and Donnie Wahlberg's sister died of sepsis? Jim Henson died of sepsis, so did Muhammad Ali and Patty Duke...the list goes on and on. Yet no one in a position of political or public power does a thing. Yes, I am bitter as ***!

Do yourselves and your family a favor and learn about sepsis and the symptoms. I'm off my soap box but here is an amazing video if you care to watch it:

You and your wife earned that soap box friend. I thought my mom dealt with unreal pain and misfortune, she was the toughest person I’ve ever known. So I definitely feel for you , you must be a helluva dude. By the pictures she seems to a one in a million herself.

Thanks for posting , maybe some folks can realize how lucky they are .

Thank you. I just want people to take a few minutes to learn about sepsis as it may save their life. Thank you for all the recruiting info, etc
 
Knee brace? If you seen the espn documentary he almost lost his leg. They scraped everything below his knee and what was left was only bone.
I wonder what he's gaining by continuing to play. Other than pride he should retire and enjoy the rest of his life.
 
Alex Smith’s leg still looks unstable and fckd for lack of a better word. I don’t understand how he was cleared to play.

ORTHOPEDICS SURGEONS are gods. They don't have enough credit. They are are so underrated .

Orthopods think they are gods...just ask and they'll tell you...

🙂😏

But yes, their scope of practice has increased by leaps and bounds from 20-30 years ago.

Total hip used to drive at least a week's stay in hospital, now in some cases, you go home same/next day.

Extraordinary advances in patient care for sure.

Bro, thanks for sharing. I will be looking forward to hearing updates on your wife as she continues to preservers. If not, her story is incredible. One of my good friends from college’s wife was admitted into the hospital a couple months ago with covid - she almost died from sepsis. Crazy stuff.
