Parsons said Dean became ill and went to the hospital because he was having trouble breathing just over two weeks ago. He was intubated and developed pneumonia and then a serious bacterial infection, MRSA.
His condition deteriorated rapidly, and he was airlifted from Wichita to a hospital in Oklahoma City, Parsons said. There he was put on an ECMO machine, which circulates and oxygenates a patient’s blood outside the body, taking over heart and lung function when a patient’s organs don’t work on their own.
His mother posted a message Friday on Facebook relating all those details and saying that Dean was “fighting for his life.”
He was heavily sedated and put on dialysis. A CT scan indicated he had suffered a stroke, his mom’s post said.
By the end, doctors were considering amputating both hands and both feet. “It was brutal what he went through,” Parsons said. “Heartbreaking.”
I don’t see any conspiracy with this one. MRSA comes out of nowhere, is fucking scary, and becomes scarier with every passing year. I’ve seen fit 20 year-olds use dirty gym equipment with a cut on their hands and end up in the same situation. Once you’re vulnerable like that, other systems fail rapidly and the failures cascade.
yeah could be he just got really unlucky
