I just ran across this as I hadn't seen the news earlier. He is now in an induced coma for ARDS.

According to the Mayo clinic site, many people do not recover from this. Hopefully he can beat the odds so the already tragic incident doesn't become more so.
This is sad. He definitely received some trauma to the chest from that hit, but looking at that list of causes has me fearing that the initial hospital he was in my have had some sanitary issues.
On the positive side, he's young and can still pull though, so I'm going to keep sending some positive vibes his way!
Yes read this and it is saddening. I pray that he wakes and recovers enough to be self reliant.

And that's what you get for thinking. Or, you should not speculate on things you don't understand, such as this. And, that Mayo link clearly gave a cause that Mr. Correa has, not to mention being severely injured. Hey, it could be pancreatitis. That's on the list, right? What causes pancreatitis? Chronic IV drug abuse. Yeah, that's it, that must have been the cause, huh? And if he weighs the same as a duck, he's a witch.
Do keep ut the positive vibes, but let's not blame the hospital.
Prayers he pulls through.
For those who don’t know, ECMO (what he is on for his respiratory issues) is essentially an external heart and lungs. A cannula is placed in the jugular upstream of the heart, and it essentially bypasses the heart using an external pump. The machine oxygenates the blood, pumps it through the body, and another cannula takes it back from the body into the pump. In this case, it sounds like his heart is likely healthy enough, but his lungs are not.
It is an incredible, lifesaving machine, but it is also extremely dangerous. Assuming it is the same in London as in the US, there is an ECMO specialist (who is also a respiratory technician) and a nurse with him 24/7 monitoring everything. Modern medicine is just incredible.

Agreed. Looking at that list, I’d never have come up with hospital cleanliness. Especially when they have this in the list:

Pancreatitis can have other causes Doc. Just sayin

That is, in fact, the point being made.
