How UFC Star Ben Askren Cheated Death - #1116
"I went to the hospital. I actually went to the hospital on the day before also. My back was hurting, just a back pain. I thought it was a back spasm. I woke up July 2nd. I didn't know where I was. I didn't know why I was there. I don't remember anything. I was asleep for, I wanna say it was 30, I think it was 37 days."
Askren described his harrowing medical crisis where what he dismissed as a back spasm was actually his body destroying his lungs. He entered the hospital on May 28, 2024, lost consciousness, and didn't regain awareness until July 2nd. He was airlifted to Milwaukee and placed on ECMO life support with only a 40% survival chance.
