General Discussion

Kyle Busch’s death should be used as an example for middle aged folks who believe that because they excel in one area makes them experts in medicine.

As I posted on another thread, he died of stupidity

The PBS report was telling.

41 year old men ignore serious symptoms.

He did not need a shot- he needed a thorough medical examination.
One more person who listens to stupid ads telling us to tell our doctors what we need rather than heading to the doctor for expert advice.
Sad but you can’t fix stupid.

Typically the immune system releases chemicals to fight off pathogens like bacteria, viruses or fungi, but with sepsis the response goes into overdrive. The results can cause widespread inflammation, form microscopic blood clots and make blood vessels leak.

Busch was thought to have had a sinus cold while racing at Watkins Glen on May 10 and radioed in to his team saying that he needed a "shot" from a doctor after the race. However, he bounced back to win the Trucks Series race at Dover last weekend, and then he finished 17th in the All-Star race on Sunday.

He did not bounce back - his condition worsened.

Arrogance and the belief in invincibility is what killed him.
