re: Mike Leach in critical condition, unknown medical event.

My dad had something similar happen. Tried the heart cath, but that didn't work, so they cracked his chest and did a quadruple bypass.

None of us realized that he had a lot of other comorbidities, including diminished kidney function and prostate swelling that he chose to treat with medicine instead of the recommended surgical procedure. The stopped the meds (prostate, blood thinner, etc) for the surgery, which caused the prostate to swell and limit urine flow, thereby stressing the kidneys, who were already shite from the anesthesia, and then he developed a-fib, leading to dislodged clots (no more thinners and he's lying there on the bed - prime time for clots) and then strokes.

He was out of his mind for a week or so. Eventually regained his senses and had a somewhat normal few months. No way someone in that situation could ever return to work, particularly not in stressful job like that of an SEC HFBC. The one-thing-leads-to-another cycle killed my dad within six months' time. There just is not a lot the docs can do when so many different things go wrong at the same time.

College football is better with Mike Leach a part of it.
