I'm not too concerned. They can get medicine to him, so as long as that works and his condition improves enough, they can get him out.
If the medicine doesn't work and whatever issues he's facing deteriorates further, then there's a real problem.
Of course the real nightmare is if he's developed a chronic health issue, he'll have to get treated for the rest of his life, here in the States. I'd wish that fate on no one.
As someone with a chronic health issue that has to live in the States, yes. It sucks. And we have good health insurance.
I'm guilty of only reading headlines on this story so far. I didn't realize he was a researcher. I thought he was just an adventurer. And I didn't realize he was actually sick. I thought it was yet another case of someone with too much money doing something stupid, so I didn't read further.
That's why you always read further.
But the headline says "ill US researcher". Did the headline change or am I missing something here.
This headline does. Previous headlines did not.
Also don't go caving
He's a researcher. He's doing it for scientific reasons and to further the scope of human knowledge. He's not some asshole who just decided to conquer the latest cave. He has a valid reason to be in that cave. You never know what we could learn from such an environment.
How bad is this, on a scale of 1 to Floyd Collins?
That sent me down a wiki rabbit hole. The poor man's body was a tourist attraction..... and someone stole his leg!
Is it bad I saw the picture and thought what happened to V-sause.
Hey guys v-sause Michel here “have you ever been stuck in a cave“
Minus the joke hope the guy recovers and gets out safe
