Some real clichés, for sure. I like strong, outspoken, beautiful women. But then for me, a person’s politics have exactly nothing to do with if I like them, their art, or anything else; maybe I’m odd to have contempt for someone who wouldn’t enjoy (not necessarily pay for, that’s legit) music, food, art, etc created by someone I might be utterly opposed to politically. I rather pity the people who don’t separate the two. Hell, I HATE anti-Semitism, but damned if I’m not going to listen to Wagner’s Ring.
Some Chiefs fans who attended bitter cold playoff game now require amputations: hospital
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (WDAF) — Multiple people who experienced frostbite while attending a bitter cold Kansas City Chiefs playoff game in January may require amputations, a hospital official told Nexstar’s WDAF this week.
Garcia told WDAF in January she had seen dozens of frostbite patients as the state saw multiple days of frigid cold temperatures. Many of those were Chiefs fans who attended the playoff game against the Dolphins.
“The patients who had their frostbite injuries along with the Chiefs game, they are just getting to the point now we are starting to discuss their amputations that might be necessary,” Garcia said Tuesday, explaining that 70% of the patients referred for frostbite injuries suffered earlier this year are now being advised to schedule amputations.
The estimated 30% lucky enough to avoid amputation after undergoing treatment the past few weeks in hyperbaric oxygen tanks will have plenty of reminders of their frostbite injuries.
“It’s still a lifelong process. They’ll have sensitivity and pain for the rest of their lives and always will be more susceptible to frostbite in the future. So we are also educating them to make sure they stay warm for the years and months to come,” Garcia said.
