Since he survived and is still alive, Mr. Henderson shouldn’t be described as a “drowning” victim.

While the word “drowning” is commonly associated with fatal results, drowning may be classified into three different types:drowning that results in death, drowning that results in long-lasting health problems, and drowning that results in no health complications.
Why do I have to explain myself to people all the time? Look stuff up before you make stupid comments

Some people are always depending on other people to do their homework for them.
They own the latest and most expensive phones w/ access to almost everything.
Yet they think their time is more valuable than everybody else’s.

That’s what you took from this article! The main elements were clearly stated about this unfortunate young soul and the terrible event he endured. It takes the slightest bit of common sense to understand the resulting effects that happens when our brain goes that length of time without oxygen…The f’d up reality that caused me to even speak up is, after reading this all I thought and felt was sadness for this poor soul and his family. Imagining instantly just what it means to “drown,” and not breathe that amount of time and what’s to follow since the resulting reality of the “drowning” victim, his family, and the unspeakable decisions soon to follow.
SMH…but you, what your initial reaction was, the usage of a word. 🤫1

He didn’t survive.

He did drown. His lungs took on water. While the definition often includes dying as a result, it isn’t necessarily the case. I was actually a little surprised to see some “definitions”, online, of the word as “dying” because, historically, that is NOT the definition.
Reply
“Drowning” is the event that happened.
Water in the lungs. Not breathing.
Not the end result.As mentioned by Kevin Mathewson, the results of the “Drowning” can be varied.
Per Wikipedia
“Drowning is a type of suffocation induced by the submersion of the mouth and nose in a liquid. Submersion injury refers to both drowning and near-miss incident. Most instances of fatal drowning occur alone or in situations where others present are either unaware of the victim’s situation or unable to offer assistance. After successful resuscitation, drowning victims may experience breathing problems, vomiting, confusion, or unconsciousness. Occasionally, victims may not begin experiencing these symptoms until several hours after they are rescued. An incident of drowning can also cause further complications for victims due to low body temperature, aspiration of vomit, or acute respiratory distress syndrome (respiratory failure from lung inflammation). “
In winter a person might be able to survive longer because of slower oxygen usage by the brain in cold conditions.
In this case I don’t hold out much hope for recovery

What I don’t understand is that it says he is financially responsible for himself. Do his parents not work and carry health insurance on him, to help with his medical bills??
As a student or not, most kids are covered under their parents health insurance until age 26 or did they just put that thinking more people would perhaps donate?
Either way, such a sad situation and I pray this young man can pull through this with little to no life altering effects.

It is possible, because of the structure and culture of this society, that some 19 yr Olds are not. Don’t ya think that knowing a little more of his family situation might help and encourage more people to want to assist him? It IS curious why that was put in there with no context at all.

Yeah work for a company that offers it, just make sure it’s in network. Make sure they don’t consult with any doctors that aren’t in network. Make sure you get the preauthorization, make sure the health care provider gets the preauthorization, make sure the authorization doesn’t expire. Then make sure to cover your co-pay, coinsurance and deductible. Oh yeah and even if you are working for it, you probably have to cover a fair amount of the premium.
Then make sure the billing is all transparent and done properly. You can pay everything properly and on time but still have collections come after you due to a provider error. Then you begin the legal battle.
Employer provided insurance was a well intentioned idea back in WWII. It’s outdated. Needlessly complicated and making us do gofundme’s for an incredible human being. A hard working kid that was not given a fair deal in life.1

He was a full time nursing student at UWM. He was my daughters friend. These comments are all disgusting and I’m so glad I don’t have to live in your skin. To be so miserable.
