WTF? Why can't you fly due to a rib injury?

 

My wife (nurse) thinks it might be because a cracked rib could colllapse a lung.  Not likely, but the possibility exists.

And my question is, what kind of rib injury precludes you from flying?

If he has a pneumothorax which would be pungchured lung or tare in the tissue. 

 

Sorry can spell worth a sh

It's cool to think that he hopped in his range rover, cranked up the tunes and headed out on the highway, but he hired a car service.

Uh yeah I was 100% against a contract extension going into the season. But uhhh I’ll say I’m %67 against it now.

Why exactly are you any % against it, let alone so adamantly against it? I mean, outside of general trolling and pessimism. You seem to think you have a good reason

if you have a punctured lung that's healing the pressured cabin can cause problems

also airplane air pressure at 25000 feet is the equivalent air pressure you get outside if you are at 7000 feet in elevation or higher.

 

therr are many medical conditions where high altitude can be a risk for health.  I think itwas in the Pittsburg at denver playoff game thst Tebow one that a steeler DB couldn’t play because of the denver elevation and his injury because the high altitude caused problems.

 

i had perforated lungs twice in my life and both times I ended up in the ICU.

Those are nice damn vans. Especially if outfitted for travel. Climbers have them and they're beyond most camper RV's. 

[The Dean]

That's a team player.

 

I'm pretty sure the Bills will pay his travel and set him up for a comfortable ride. He should take an extra day on the way back, too.

The Steeler/Denver issue was the DB has sickle cell trait. Being at altitude can trigger a sickle crisis which is incredibly painful and can cause stroke and other organ damage.

Maybe he as already signed a performance bonus contract.

 

Others drove the 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for him.

 

I do commend him making sure he was there for everyone made a difference.

And he was driven to KC.
