Brendan Mahon admitted to Hershey Med.
- Thread starter marshall23
- Start date
I'm speculating that he needs some specialized foot surgery because of some "complications" related to "circulation" in the foot.

Imagine how good PSU would be if JF played the best players?

I'd cautiously hope that given he is listed in "stable" as opposed to serious or critical condition that this is something they may have originally gone to Mt. Nittany Med for, caught early and transferred him to Hershey for more specialized care.
Think the McGovern to RT was if something happened to chase wright. He played whole game vs Iowa. They will move bodies around to avoid pulling redshirt on Fries
Hate hearing these kind of things. Thoughts are with him. Hope all is well and works out for the best.
Another worry would be compartment syndrome, rare after sprain, but always an urgent issue to rule out or correct.
Yeah, I was thinking of compartment syndrome or infection. Both eminently treatable, but would probably end his season.
Ok, let's just say some prayers for him and a very speedy recovery.
LIFE is more than football.

The freaking kid is in the hospital you asshole. And you turn this to a thread about ME?
That is disrespectful to the kid, and frankly you are a jerk for it.
Exactly. Don't give a shit about anything other than the kid and his family and his health. Got that haters?
Good Lord I hope it is not compartment syndrome. I almost lost my left arm after a multiple compound fracture to CS about 15 years ago. One cannot explain the pain involved with CS.
I have two wicked cool scares though

Good news is that chicks dig scars, right?
Doubt they would transfer him if it was compartment syndrome. Time can be of the essence in treating that. I'm sure they could perform gas optimized at the first facility
I know that happened to an athlete around here--though I forget the details. it can be serious.
This is exactly what I though of when I read the story about Brendan. When I was playing football in HS, I got hit hard from behind about mid-calf high on my right leg when covering a kick. There was a small bruise but nothing unusual after a football game and the pain wasn't too bad initially but got so bad that night I couldn't sleep and it started going semi-numb. My parents drove me to the emergency room, X-rays were negative and I was sent home with some 800 mg ibuprofen which did absolutely nothing. Luckily, my mom took me to a different hospital the next day over the objections of my 'shake it off, be a man' dad and there was a good orthopedist on duty who diagnosed it right away and sent me to surgery that afternoon to relieve the pressure or I might have lost my leg below the knee. Three scars and four months later all was mostly well.
Hoping the best for Mahon. If it's acute compartment syndrome his season is likely over but he'll probably be 100% for spring practice.
Scary sh*t for sure. I had to get a graph to cover the wound for 4 months... still can't fully extend my left thumb.
