Ref Who Collapsed in NCAA Tournament Says it Saved His Life

Post by SuperHornet »

Bert Smith didn't know he had a blood clot in his lung. They found it at the hospital after he collapsed during the Gonzaga-USC Elite Eight game. A miracle. The fact that a doctor's help did the trick makes it no less a miracle. Had it happened at home or a zillion other places, EMS wouldn't have been so easily available, and he might have died.

Needless to say this person is very fortunate this problem was found in time.

Why aren't all these in your Super Mega Ultra Omnibus Sports thread?

I believe this was posted before I started those. Also, I'm not sure I made one for this thread. I don't do much on the hoops board....
