Soy Sauce Overdose Puts Man In Coma Make a mental note to watch your salt intake as it could leave you in a coma… According to NBC News: A young man who drank a quart of soy sauce went into a coma and nearly died from an excess of salt in his body, according to a recent case report. The 19-year-old, who drank the soy sauce after being dared by friends, is the first person known to have deliberately overdosed on such a high amount of salt and survived with no lasting neurological problems, according to the doctors in Virginia who reported his case. The case report was published online June 4 in the Journal of Emergency Medicine. Too much salt in the blood, a condition called hypernatremia, is usually seen in people with psychiatric conditions who develop a strong appetite for the condiment, said Dr. David J. Carlberg, who treated the young man and works as an emergency medicine physician at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C. Hypernatremia is dangerous because it causes the brain to lose water. When there is too much salt in the bloodstream, water moves out of the body tissues and into the blood by the process of osmosis, to try to equalize the salt concentration between the two. As water the leaves the brain, the organ can shrink and bleed, Carlberg said. After the man drank the soy sauce, he began twitching and having seizures, and the friends took him to an emergency room. That hospital administered anti-seizure medication, and he was already in a coma when he was taken to the hospital where Carlberg was working, the University of Virginia Medical Center, nearly four hours after the event. “He didn’t respond to any of the stimuli that we gave him,” Carlberg said. “He had some clonus, which is just elevated reflexes. It’s a sign that basically the nervous system wasn’t working very well.” The team immediately began flushing the salt out of his system by administering a solution of water and the sugar dextrose through a nasal tube. When they placed the tube, streaks of brown material came out. Within a half hour, they pumped 1.5 gallons (6 liters) of sugar water into the man’s body. The man’s sodium levels returned to normal after about five hours. He remained in a coma for three days, but woke up on his own. For several days afterward, a part of his brain called the hippocampus showed residual effects from the seizures. But a month after the event, he showed no sign of the overdose : He was back at college, and doing well on his exams, doctors reported. A typical quart of soy sauce has more than 0.35 pounds (0.16 kilograms) of salt, the researchers said. Though it’s rare in the United States, consuming excess salt was a traditional method for suicide in ancient China, according to the case report. Carlberg said he believes the young man survived because the team got his sodium levels down so quickly. Damn, bet he won’t be partaking in any ridiculous azz dares anymore.
Some people just don’t give an ish. Thief Runs Over Cop And Injures Cyclist According to The NY Post A desperate crook made a wild car getaway through Midtown yesterday, running over a cop and mowing down a bicyclist as he sped away from a violent robbery, cops said. The thief broke the 24-year-old cyclist’s pelvis, arm and both his legs on East 29th Street at about 6:30 a.m. “His shoes were knocked off, and I saw his toes bleeding,” said Cecilia Cargill, 36. “He was unconscious, and I started praying over him . . . I was praying as he opened his eyes.” The chaos began when the robber and another thug punched a 28-year-old man and grabbed his watch and bag at about 6:30 a.m. near Penn Station at 34th Street and Seventh Avenue. MTA cops noticed the commotion and ran over. One crook walked off while the other grabbed the robbery victim’s bag and jumped into a gold Infiniti sedan, running over a cop’s foot and hitting a 23-year-old woman. He drove against traffic down Sixth Avenue, then turned the wrong way on East 29th Street, cops said. Surveillance footage recorded the robber’s car swerving before smashing into cyclist Mohamed Al-Matin, catapulting the man and his bike to opposite sides of the street, police sources said. “His feet were on the sidewalk, and his body was in the street. The bike was all the way across the street,” said Cargill, who was on her way to work at a nearby hotel when she saw the crash. “He was trying to lift up. I said, ‘Don’t move, God is going to help you.’ He looked like, ‘I’m dying, help me.’ ” The robber kept going, speeding across Park Avenue before smashing through a light pole and into the closed New Absolute Laundry at 29th Street and Lexington. “I saw him coming like crazy, the wrong way, the opposite way,” said a cabby named Soliman, 54. “He was easily going 40 to 50 miles per hour,” said Robert, a 25-year-old cabdriver who declined to give his last name. “It was a loud crash. You could hear the steel of the pole dragging across the street.” Both robbers were still at large last night and the bicyclist was in critical condition at Bellevue Hospital. The owner of the Infiniti told investigators he had lent the car to the suspected robber, police sources said. There are some real savages in this world. Shutterstock
What a nightmare . Man Left Without Nose After Botched Plastic Surgery According to Fox 23 A New York man living in Tulsa went to get a nose job with a well-established Tulsa plastic surgeon and five years later does not have a nose. Vishal Thakkar got a divorce and in 2006 he admittedly made a vain decision. “I decided to do something selfish,” said Thakkar, sitting in his attorney’s office in South Tulsa. Dr. Angelo Cuzalina is known across Green County for his plastic surgery. The Oklahoma Medical Board does not show any complaints in his history. He is listed as president of the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery. “I had the first surgery and suffered some breathing problems, nothing too bad, but it made it hard to exercise and sleep,” said Thakkar. He went back, again and again. Between 2006 and 2007 he had eight surgeries. He then left Tulsa until 2011 and came back for more surgeries. He had several infections. Finally, during a surgery, Thakkar says Cuzalina cut off his nose. “He told me that there was an infection in there and since I was on the operating table and unconscious he had to make the decision,” said Thakkar. Before another surgery, Thakkar told FOX23 News he told Cuzalina a nurse and the doctor’s office manager, to not take anything from his ears, like cartilage for the surgery he was about to have. “I woke up with pain behind my ear and I said to the nurses, what part of ‘Under no circumstances do not touch my ears, do you not understand?’” said Thakkar. Later, Thakkar said, Cuzalina emailed him. “In the email he apologized,” he said. During another surgery, Thakkar said the doctor ran out of ear cartilage. “So he cut into my rib cage for cartilage, I didn’t know it then, but I do not believe he is licensed for that kind of surgery!” “By the time I am able to breathe without pain and have a human-looking nose, I will have had 30 surgeries on my face thanks to Angelo Cuzalina.” He has spoken to other plastic surgeons. “There is no way I am going to live like this. It is worse than being dead. Other surgeons told me that, Vishal, your case is so bad it is unheard of, you must be treated by someone at the top of this field,” said Thakkar. On August 31st, 2012 Cuzalina sent Thakkar a form stating he will no longer work on him, “… you are considered medically unstable. Because of your ongoing threats and harassment against my staff, my practice, and me personally…” the statement read. It was around this time Thakkar told FOX23 News, he learned Cuzalina was recording their audio and video without letting Thakkar know that was happening during his visits to the office. “In December of 2011, in the medical record he (Dr. Cuzalina) wrote I am suicidal, but at the same time the medication he is giving me it could easily kill a couple human beings,” said Thakkar. “I have more than 3,000 injections, pain pills and stuff so my liver is pretty much fried,” said Thakkar. Could you imagine living without a nose? At least you wouldn’t get too big for your britches and start “smelling yourself.”
This is disgusting . Doctor Served With Sexual Assault Lawsuit According to The NY Daily News A former New York-Presbyterian/Columbia Hospital doctor sexually assaulted two former patients in his gynecology office in 2012, claims a lawsuit filed Monday in Manhattan Supreme Court. The two female plaintiffs were identified only by their initials — L.K. and A.Y. Their attorney, Anthony Donofrio, said Dr. Robert Hadden of Tenafly, N.J., performed oral sex on both young women, and one reported the incident to police last June. Police sources confirmed that they had a report about a June 29 sexual assault involving Hadden, and that he was taken into custody the following day, but the record was sealed. Hadden stopped seeing patients in his Fort Washington Ave. office in September. He did not return calls to his home. Hospital spokeswoman Myrna Manners said Columbia and the hospital “take allegations of this nature very seriously” but she declined to comment further on pending litigation.

This guy has diarrhea of the mouth. E. W. Jackson Says Evolution Is False According to Raw Story The Republican nominee for lieutenant governor in Virginia believes that biological evolution is false because chimpanzees cannot speak like humans do. BuzzFeed revealed on Tuesday that E.W. Jackson made the claim in Ten Commandments to an Extraordinary Life, a book he published in 2008. In the book, he noted that scientists had taught chimpanzees to use sign language. He said this finding was wrongly used as evidence that primates were our ancestors. Jackson said the scientists were incorrect because language was a gift God provided exclusively to human beings and “no other creature.” “There is an unfathomable gulf between humans and all other creatures because creation was designed that way,” he wrote. Scientists have uncovered that modern humans and modern chimpanzees share a common ancestor in the distant past. The notion that modern humans evolved from chimpanzees is a common misconception. It is not the first time the controversial candidate’s book has been the subject of scrutiny. In late May, the liberal blog Think Progress reported that Jackson was an advocate of the so-called “prosperity gospel.” In apparent contradiction to the teachings of the New Testament, Jackson’s book declared the pursuit of money was not evil and didn’t make people evil. Somebody needs to tell this guy that the Republican party really doesn’t give an ish about you. They just use you to make them feel less racist. Continue reading →
Some cops are pigs. Cop Fired For Running Over Man According to Raw Story A Florida cop was fired on Friday amid an investigation into the death of 38-year-old Marlon Brown, who police say was run over by a squad car last month as he fled an officer. Dashboard video taken from DeLand, Fla. Officer J.P. Harris’s car shows him pursuing Brown and running him down, according to Deland Police Chief Bill Ridgway. Ridgway spoke to reporters over the weekend, saying he felt compelled to take immediate action after watching the dashcam footage. “This is a regrettable and tragic situation for everyone involved,” he said. “This decision was made in the best interests of the community, the city, and the department. It should be noted that the traffic accident involving Marlon Brown’s death is still under active investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol. Due to that ongoing investigation I am unable to comment further.” Brown was killed on May 8 amid a pursuit that began when Harris tried to pull him over for not wearing a seat belt. Police later said that Brown was driving with a suspended license. He did not have any contraband in his vehicle. “I can’t sleep and can’t eat and I have this vision in my head,” Laheia Olvera, who was in the car with Brown that day, told The Daytona Beach News-Journal. “From his neck to his waist, he was completely smashed. His head was swelled up.” Brown’s ex-wife Krystal explained to Jacksonville’s News 4 that she’s not satisfied with Harris being terminated. “We actually want charges,” she said. “Just a termination is not good enough, but it’s a start.” Damn, his head was all smashed up. They need to arrest him. Shutterstock

Another day another weird Amanda Bynes story. Amanda Bynes Wanders Aimlessly In Buffalo, NY According to TMZ TMZ has obtained video appearing to show Amanda Bynes walking the streets of Buffalo, NY moments ago — but the strange part … she keeps telling the photog, “We’re not in Buffalo.” The footage was shot by a self-described “fan” who tells us he noticed Bynes wandering around aimlessly … sporting huge sunglasses and a brown wig … and decided to strike up a conversation with her. The woman never denies that she’s Amanda Bynes — but when asked why she’s in Buffalo, she repeatedly tells the photog, “We’re not in Buffalo.” We reached out to Bynes via email — but she wouldn’t confirm or deny if she was actually in Buffalo. If it’s NOT Bynes in the video … it certainly would be a helluva coincidence — ’cause the lady in Buffalo doesn’t just bear a striking resemblance to Amanda, she also has the same tattoo on her arm. This is yet another bizarre incident in addition to her being spotted at Sky Zone bouncing high on trampolines. Amanda you know that’s you
This is some weird ish. NASA Official Found Dead According to Mail Online A retired NASA official who served on the Apollo Navigation Team has been found dead with a rope around his neck and genitals inside a home in Thailand, it emerged today. Police found the body of Paul Milford Muller, 76, on Tuesday in the Tak Province of the country and suspect he had been dead for about three days. There were no signs that Muller, 76, had been assaulted, according to the Bangkok Post. He appeared to have died from asphyxiation or from a heart attack after a drug overdose, police said. His body has been sent for an autopsy while officials try to contact his family. Muller worked for ten years at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology, and served on the Apollo Navigation Team. He wrote three books, including one called Suicide Inc., which he described as a ‘romantic and erotic thriller’. On the cover of the novel is a picture of a noose. He grew up in Los Angeles and had a PhD in Physics/Astronomy. Muller had recently joined Twitter and last posted on April 19. On his bio on his website he states: ‘I write for personal enjoyment and work diligently to share with others. I respect readers and accept that you are the true judges of what we do. ‘I live alone in the highlands of Thailand, but have many interesting Thai friends.’ According to his publishing company’s website, Muller was single, and ‘lived with a mature family with whom he had a relationship for some years, in a modern home in the Thai style that he built on the outskirts of a farming village near Nakhon Sawan’. Muller is the joint recipient of the Magellanic Premium Gold Medal of the American Philosophical Society (APS), which is often described as the ‘Nobel Prize’ for navigation. We hope he wasn’t into that erotic thrill ish. R.I.P. Facebook/Flickr
