Oklahoma news anchor has stroke on-air; Ohio high school football player has 6 feet of “blood clots” pulled from legs; Seattle ferry crashes for (apparently) no reason; and so on

Guest Post by Mark Crispin Miller

Another spate of (what appear to be) NON-fatal post-jab mishaps from all over the US, with one in the UK and three in (where else?) Italy

I had not intended to post this next batch until next week, but so many such reports have just come in these last two days that I decided not to wait.

This article includes the video of Julie Chin’s disorientation as she tried to read the teleprompter:

  • Julie Chin, of Tulsa NBC affiliate KJRH suddenly found herself unable to speak the words she was reading off her teleprompter while on air

  •  The anchor didn’t return once the weather was done, however, as co-workers had called 9-11 and she was sent away to a hospital
  • On Sunday Chin said doctors told her she had suffered the ‘beginnings’ of a stroke, and confirmed she was okay and would be returning to work soon

‘It could’ve been so much worse’ | Wauseon football player’s career abruptly ends

Kaden Clymer, a junior lineman, had six feet of blood clots removed from his legs just days before the season kicked off.

September 3, 2022

WAUSEON, Ohio — It’s difficult to match the level of excitement for high school football players when their season is about to start. Yet, imagine all that build come crashing down on you.

Unfortunately, that turned out to be the reality one Wauseon junior had to tackle.

There was never a doubt, Kaden Clymer would have impact on the field. Yet, to do so without pads on came without warning.

“It started on August 1st,” Kaden’s mother Maurine Clymer said. “His dad took him to the emergency room after he was having severe pain in his back and legs.”

Teammate Tyson Rodriguez added “I was a bit confused because I didn’t really know what was happening. He just told me that he wasn’t feeling good.”

The night before the Wauseon Indians took to the field for their first Fall team practice, Clymer unexpectedly had to be taken to Toledo Children’s Hospital.

“His calves were swelled up four inches larger, in circumference, than they are now,” Maurine Clymer said. “So, he was very uncomfortable.”

Kaden Clymer added “I just wanted to go home honestly. I didn’t really care what they did to me, I just wanted to go home.”

Full of pain and uncertainty, Clymer received word that he had blood clots in his legs.

“I was really sad. I was crying and upset because I’ve played football my whole life and I just wanted to play with my friends,” the junior lineman said.

Six feet of blood clots were removed and because of the blood thinners he now has to take, Clymer’s football career is over.

“Was just getting ready to start practice, we were really looking forward to seeing him on Friday nights,” his mother said.

Following nine days in the hospital, Clymer returned to the team despite barely being able to walk.

“I’m really happy to be able to spend time with my friends,” Kaden said. “It means a lot to me to be able to be back on the field and have fun with them.”

Rodriguez added “It was weird not seeing him, but it’s good that he’s back. He’s our guy, so it’s nice seeing him here.”

A life-changing experience that has proven the toughness of this young man.

“I’m very strong and well-minded because it took a lot of effort to be able to stay in the hospital for nine days straight,” Clymer said. “Eat the hospital food and go through all those procedures, it really sucked.”

Unfortunately, Clymer’s path to recovery is far from over. Not only are doctors still trying to figure out exactly what happened to Kaden [!], but re-gaining strength into his legs each day comes at a price.

“He gets shots in his stomach every day, twice a day, which is not something fun,” Maurine Clymer said. “I don’t enjoy giving them to him and I know he doesn’t like getting them. Yet, he does it with a smile and we appreciate that. It could’ve been so much worse.”

There is good news to share, Clymer has shown improvement each day and is expected to still play baseball, his favorite sport.

Until then, his role on the team is to continue progressing and inspire.

Litchfield motorcyclist suffers head injury in Palmyra crash

Police are investigating the collision of a motorcycle and SUV at the intersection of Routes 2 and 152 which sent two to the hospital, including one by LifeFlight of Maine.

September 4, 2022

Palmyra, Maine – A Litchfield man suffered a serious head injury in a collision with an SUV at the intersection of Routes 2 and 152 Saturday morning.

Kevin Pulk, 59, of Litchfield, was taken from the scene by ambulance to Sebasticook Valley Hospital in Pittsfield, then subsequently taken by LifeFlight helicopter to Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor for treatment of a serious head injury, according to a news release from Somerset County Sheriff’s Office.

Police said the investigation so far indicated Lisa Veazie, 61, of Scarborough, was driving a 2015 Honda CRV SUV heading north on Route 152, which is also known as Ell Hill Road. She stopped at the intersection of Routes 2 and 152 then allegedly pulled out in front of Pulk’s 1988 Honda Goldwing, which was headed east on Route 2.

Veazie was also taken to Sebasticook Valley Hospital, for a possible shoulder injury. 

The crash remains under investigation but police said initially it appeared neither alcohol nor speed contributed to the crash.

Follow-up on an incident reported on July 24:

New footage shows Washington ferry crash that caused millions of dollars in damages

The state ferry that was damaged during a “hard landing” at the Fauntleroy Ferry Terminal on July 24 could be out of service for the rest of the year.

August 29, 2022

SEATTLE — New footage from Washington State Ferries (WSF) shows the moment of impact when the Cathlamet crashed into a terminal in west Seattle.

The state ferry that was damaged during a “hard landing” at the Fauntleroy Ferry Terminal on July 24 could be out of service for the rest of the year.

According to WSF, the monetary damage to the ferry is “well into the millions” and the damage to the Fauntleroy terminal structure will be “in the hundreds of thousands.”

The Cathlamet was docking at the Fauntleroy ferry terminal when it collided with an offshore dolphin – a structure that guides docking ferries. The collision caused significant damage to the vessel. 

The dolphin, primarily made from a wood piling with steel and concrete, made a sizeable tear in the ferry’s front right side. In addition to the ferry itself, several vehicles on the ferry were also damaged, with one trapped in the wreckage.

The crash was classified by the US Coast Guard as a “major marine casualty.”

Following the crash, the captain of the ferry at the time of the collision resigned.

The entire crew was tested for drugs and alcohol. All tests came back negative, according to WSF. 

No injuries were reported.

Schoolboy, 8, saved mum’s life when she collapsed and fell down flight of stairs

September 3, 2022

A schoolboy saved his mum’s life after she collapsed at the top of a flight of stairs.

Regan Deeley tumbled to the ground after losing consciousness and awoke with her eight-year-old son checking her vital signs.

Grayson Stewart sprung into action and called 999, helping paramedics to assess her condition by monitoring his mum’s pulse and breathing.

The 30-year-old has no idea why she passed out but knows it could have been very different without the quick actions of her boy.

She said: ‘I just woke up at about three o’clock in the morning and I felt a bit sick and dizzy.

‘I don’t remember anything after that until I woke up and my little boy was on the phone to the ambulance crew.

I was at the bottom of the stairs. I think I had fainted at the top of the stairs and taken a fall.

I had landed head first, so my body was still halfway up the stairs and my arms were trapped under me. I had quite a knock to the head.’

I don’t even know what to say anymore. It’s hard to decide what irks me more……
victims refusing to believe they have been victimized or doctors who refuse to address the elephant in the room. It’s like I’m watching some sci-fi movie that goes on forever with no conclusion.

Amusing that they think the worst is over for that poor soccer player.
