Derek Anthony update

[WalterWhite]

Yes but it was a family friend who offered the transplant (right?) You dont need a list for that.

Yes a friend of his fathers.

Has anyone considered what the effect on his brain was when his heart stopped in the ICU? My sister drowned and was without oxygen for several minutes before she was resuscitated by the paramedics. This incident had a very negative affect on her motor skills and thought processes. I wonder if when you heart stops if a similar result isn't possible.

My wife has kidney failure. It is not bad enough yet for dialysis, but it still causes a raft of other problems for her. No doubt Derek's health is severely compromised right now. I suspect this is reflected in his face. The stress of being this sick alone would wear on one's appearance.

There been a lot of suggestion here that he is still using drugs and shooting oil into his body. He looks small as compared to how he once looked. The lumpiness could be scar tissue from previous times. If he isn't holding water, which it appears he isn't, this might make those scared areas all the more apparent.

I found myself wondering while looking at these probably recent photos, how he would have looked today, had he not gotten sick. It is also interesting to consider how he might have looked had he not taken bodybuilding and PED's to the level he seems to have. He was a relatively nice looking guy not too many years ago. Everyone ages differently, but he has not aged well at all. It is really very sad. 

Choices have consequences; this is very sad.

Doom disapproves.

Interesting point prime muscle. Did it take dying somewhere along the line for you to decide, what belonged in your mouth were penises?

Jerk!

Did it take dying somewhere along the line for you to decide all that comes out of you is shit?

[NelsonMuntz]

I got nothing against the guy, some people hate him on here and other sites for the exact same type of shit we laugh at here on a daily basis between the flame wars, trolling etc. Literally a lot of people who hate this guy because of his web behaviour are guilty of the same shit.

What I am trying to say is yes Derek Anthony may be a fucking homo and all, but he is the communities fucking homo.

I wish him well in his upcoming surgery.

Side note wouldn't it be funny if the only cure out there discovered was through Vince Goodrum's spit? Then Vince would get his spit revenge on Derek and he could help his fellow man at the same time.

[cswol]

Why is he stuck on synthol, why don't he just stick to highly anabolic agents and a little test

[Army of One]

http://www.derekanthony.com doesn't exist anymore, does he still have his jewellery and radio show to fall back on?

Hopefully a decent person will get that kidney trasplant, not him.

I hope he dies too bro.

Gold!

He might get lost in the Forrest.

hahahahhahaha this is fucking brutal.

We all die one day, but man, what a stupid , sad, pathetic way to live/ die on his part. I still remember him boasting and posting pics on here years ago... dude could be alive and well, still have a long life to live... he did all of this to himself all by himself. Incredible. Obviously nobody was there to mentor him.

Jason Mueller owns it according to the WHOIS.  I think its the same guy that used to run this bodybuilding community site back in the late 90's..early 2000 that was sort of like T-Nation...except he was pushing Syntrax Innovation products.  It was called Anabolic something.....can't remember exactly.  I'll have to look it up

Gold!

Interesting viewpoint....didn't know you were interested.

None.

If his heart stopped while in the ICU, their immediate response would have been to immediately start CPR, and intubate Derek.

The brain can go for up to as long as 6 minutes without oxygen. Pass that point, it starts to die if not properly oxygenated.

As soon as he experienced cardiac arrest, the ICU medical staff very much likely intubated Derek, which allowed for both optimum oxygenation of the blood and proper circulation of the newly oxygen-rich blood via cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), which then results in oxygenation of the brain.

While they perform CPR (compressions without breaths - since the mechanical ventilator at that point does its job of oxygenating the blood), they then made sure to have leads on Derek in order to ascertain whether or or not he had a shockable rhythm by way of a defibrillator. If Derek has V-Tach or V-Fib, they would shock him and proceed to perform CPR, while administering epinephrine, vasopressin and/or amiodarone until he obtains Sinus Rhythm. If he obtains Sinus Rhythm, then they stop the CPR and just allow him to remain intubated until he can slowly be weaned off (once he shows signs of being able to breathe on his own).

If they don't obtain a shockable rhythm once cardiac monitors are in place, they just continue CPR and continue monitoring up until they've reached a point past 30 minutes where there is no sign of spontaneous circulation even after extensive Advanced Cardiac Life Support has been given.

The moral of this useless rant is that Derek should have not experienced ANY brain damage especially if he was in an ICU, where they were perfectly capable of intubating him and performing continuous CPR with ACLS proponents (using Epinephrine, Amiodarone and Vasopressin).

Sorry you view your post as a useless rant. I learned some things about heart failure from you which I didn't know before. It is rare to actually gain real knowledge while farting around posting on Getbig, so I thank you for this.

I mentioned my sister. She has had at least two medically traumatic events in her life. As a result of an auto accident when she was 17 she was in a coma for about a week and suffered brain damage. Fast forward 45 years and she suffers a seizure while swimming and drowns which resulted in future brain damage. She's a sweetheart....a little Gracie Allen like these days though. After a day or two around her, she starts making me nuts.

Derek seems out of touch with reality, at least in his public persona. Maybe he's just a tool who screwed up his life and probably doesn't even realize this. Clearly, he's made some idiot decisions to invite so much hate from virtual strangers. Like I said before, there is a real element of sadness here. People his age should have a huge future in front of them and it appears he's lost this.

sad and pathetic

It really is. I have never seen someone do this to themselves in his situation. He was give another chance and to do this again. Just WOW.

DA would fry that new kidney. They better give it to a prudent, decent person.

Dude, how far along in med school did you make it? Any why did you stop? Really looks like you know your stuff... but then again, you seem to be the master of many domains.

The money found in the world of business was much too convincing..

I still believe that healthcare workers, as a whole, do amazing work. It's truly a shame if Derek has been willingly injecting synthol into his body amid the potential for him to receive a kidney donation.
