Josh Lenartowicz - health issues

[Taffin]

As expected, Josh's health concerns were NOT related to his kidneys being sauced out. Had a lump on his head, turned out to be a tumor before entering a coma post-surgery. I heard about the bit on his head, didn't think much of it - no idea he ended up in a coma was kept under wraps. INB4 all of the "GH caused this" commentary - his brother doesn't lift and had the same benine tumor when he was a teenager. So pleased to hear that he is better now - onward and upward Josh!

Source straight from the horse's mouth:

Hmmm.... a healthy young man staying in coma following surgery - usually happens for a reason...

"Delayed recovery from anesthesia or coma after anesthesia is a major anesthetic complication. The causes for delayed recovery from anesthesia are many. They are patient, surgical, anesthetic, and pharmacological factors. The pharmacological factors include the use of various anesthetic and adjuvant drugs, and their interactions with other drugs, known or unknown. This depends upon the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, context sensitive half-lives, amount of drug administered, accidental administration, co-administration with other drugs etc. The patient factors such as the extremes of age, obesity, and various co-morbidities like the cardiovascular, renal, liver or other major organ dysfunction can potentiate the effects of the drug used. Some of the rare causes are myxoedema coma, drug toxicity and Addison's disease. However the delayed recovery due to anesthetic causes, excluding hypoxia, usually lasts for a few hours to days."

Probably because he was so healthy, right..?

Completely and utterly missed the point, the original issue (tumor) was genetic and not related to AAS usage. Were following complications exacerbated by AAS usage? Possible, even likely - sure, but the original issue of the tumor has no link to AAS. Had he not been genetically predisposed to the tumor growth, the coma wouldn't have happened.

Hold on a second.  Where did I claim his totally natural tumor was AAS related?  My post was singularly focused on the totally unusual reaction of a young man failing to come out of the artificially induced coma (which is what general anesthesia is)...

Must suck, eating a piece of chicken, having a heart attack, choking and dying in a matter of minutes. All at 26 years old

McCarver did not have a chance. Josh did not know CPR and other measures that could have saved Dallas. For all practical purposes Josh just watched Dallas die and did nothing.

You didn't, but you replied to my post about a genetically predisposed tumor with a PubMed abstract for anesthesia complications. Just reiterating and pointing out that the actual initial issue was through no fault of his own (and anesthesia complications wouldn't have otherwise occurred).
