Yeah, by definition MRSA is resistant to that generation of penicillin drugs (Methicillin Resistant Staph Aureus, vs MSSA which is Sensitive).
Better hygiene wiping down / cleaning BJJ/wrestling mats would probably help. But it's just really horrible luck. Millions of kids wrestle every year and rarely you'll get a superficial cellulitis that doesn't cause complications and is easily treatable.
I suspect him being super healthy led to delaying seeking help. We see this sometimes with kids who are super resilient and eyeball well right until they suddenly decompensate and are at the brink of death. Combined with what I presume is a particularly resistant strain that persisted despite initial course of empiric antibiotic treatment.
Apparently he got a MRSA blood infection (presumably from skin given he coaches wrestling) that got really bad and I presume led to septic emboli his lungs. Was on ECMO for some time. Pretty insane to see that happen to someone so healthy.
This is why Chinese Cars will take over- $35k, 835 km range, lots of tech and even a mini fridge lol
Looks like wrestling GOAT and MMA bitcoiner Ben Askren got his lung transplant. Crazy for someone so young and in such peak of his health to end up on ECMO like that. Gotta wonder if he had a succession plan for his bitcoin in place...
I started warning Bitcoiners about ossification in 2023 and about quantum computing in 2024...
I'm too dumb to understand how serious the threat is... This make anyone else a little nervous? 😅
Bitcoiner Renato Moicano fighting Beneil Dariush right now. If he wins expect a diatribe about hard money haha
Haha yup, people saying you can get rich HODLing 0.1 BTC are quite mistaken. Even if BTC flips gold that's just a 10x from here as a semi realistic ceiling. Still better than most stocks and holding fiat but not life changing...
You get Bitcoin at the price you deserve.
I HATE that saying... (except when applied to be who go on anti-BTC diatribes, like Peter Schiff)
There are so many good people out there who for many life reasons are just not ready or receptive to the idea, especially with so much shitcoin/NFT fuckery clouding the market. No you are not a better or smarter person just because you bought Bitcoin earlier, you just had the right set of friends or circumstances that allowed you to keep an open mind.
To me I feel lucky and privileged to have gotten orange pilled even relatively late in 2021 (I meet k00b in 2017 and laughed at him when he told me owned BTC 😭)
Depends on the credentials. PhD in math/physics/engineering vs basket weaving. There are some very smart people in liberal arts but the credential itself is not predictive.
It's not popular opinion these days but elite universities do get a lot of talent. I work with young doctors from both Stanford and a community training program and the difference in the average intelligence/competence, especially early on in training is quite stark, even between Stanford and where I trained (UC). Saw a similar large gap when I was in the midwest between SLU and WashU students.
Anyone use Operator with ChatGPT pro? Wondering if I can get Operator (or Gemini Project Mariner) it to do my annual hospital compliance/training modules... would be worth a one month $200 subscription...
will need robot butt wipers soon to care for the population.
It was sad when visiting to see how many elderly are out in the workforce doing manual labor jobs (doing a lot of cleanup work on the streets)
Just based on the sheer volume there's going to be some amazing gems in there, amazing creativity as well blending unlimited numbers of concepts together. Unfortunately it's a race to the bottom in terms of value as the internet fills with so much noise and junk.
Damn... looks like Paypal nerfed paying for Citicards (and BofA) via debit card using Billpay... they previously nerfed this for Amex cards a couple of months ago.
My extra 0.5% back in BTC via fold card hack is now gone. :'(
