Medical issue for Leach…
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
The only reason for an insured person to go to UMMC is for strokes or head injuries... Heart would be Baptist or St Dominic's
OCH is a partner with UMMC. Probably an agreement on transfers. Doctors from University Heart come to Starkville to see patients
Hope he had a F-35 escort from Columbus, don't trust those Rebs......
A stroke would be terrible. These days if you can get to a hospital heart attacks are not that big of a deal. Pop a couple stints in and you are back home the next day. Strokes on the other are often pretty rough. BTW, on a positive note Hadad and Robbie mentioned that Zavion might be coming back and we picked up some kicker and were looking good for an LSU DB from the portal
Depends. There are some strokes where they can actually snatch a clot out if done quickly enough that have excellent outcomes. In general you are right though.
It has be wondering about all his coughing during press conferences this year. That seems to be a symptom of heart failure.
Arnett will only be the HC for the bowl game. I'm sure CML will be back for the spring.
While fighting something this serious? My god, man. No one on this board knows what the issue is. That’s how rumors get started and things get blown out of proportion.
My wife works in healthcare and has for years. According to her many critical patients are taken to UMC. From there you can usually get an idea of what kinds of issues they are having if you find out where they get transferred from UMC. Most of her heart patients end up at Baptist and a few can end up at St. Dominic’s, but the overwhelming majority of patients that are moved to St. Dominic’s are there because they have experienced a stroke. In other words, if Coach ends up at St. Dominic’s it’s likely nothing to do with his heart. St. Dominic’s stroke unit is evidently one of the top 3-4 places in the country for stroke victims. Patients are sent there from all over the country. Strokes are devastating because much of the damage is permanent. My Mom died after suffering 2 strokes 8 days apart. If Coach has indeed had a stroke I can see very little possibility that he could ever coach again. That’s a terribly sad think to even think about. Praying that whatever it is it will be something he will be able to 100% recover from
There are three Level 1 stroke centers in Ms now: St D , UMC and North Ms Medical Center
All of a sudden I'm no longer as fired up about tonight's game. I just went to the hospital yesterday because my best friend whose just 6 months older than me (I'm 59) had a mild stroke. He spent just 2 days in the hospital and is back on his feet and home now Thank God. I've been on his A$$ about diet and exercise for a year but he told me when I visited him he said he's gonna finally start listening to me. Y'all watch out if your face starts tingling and your lips don't cooperate with speech or trying to drink cuz that's what happened with my buddy. I sure hope Leach is okay and not for STATE but for him and his family.
Strokes are bad. My grandfather was never the same after his big one and then just gradually got worse. I hope it's not that
Neighbor (not 40 yet with a 13&6 yr old) has been in hospital since Saturday Thanksgiving weekend while in FL with family -stroke with massive brain bleed - was scheduled to be transferred to UAB last week but additional swelling caused them to perform a surgery to relieve pressure-good news he’s out of ICU now but will be in FL for a few more weeks before transferring - limited speech and use of right side currently
Man that sucks. What kinda overall health was he in if you don't mind me asking?
Not grossly overweight - active dude who liked to tailgate and host shindigs at his house
Insurance co sr executive - travelled a crap ton
I think he might have had elevated BP
Steve's latest update is very concerning and some of the "insiders" over there are echoing the same sentiments.
He said the next few hours would be "critical" and the situation is very very serious.
Also just said he couldn't give people "assurances" that he would make it at this time.
Not, good. Prayer's needed. I was hoping we'd have an update that he was improving this afternoon.

I’m sure Arnett will do just fine for the bowl game. There’s no reason to worry about anything beyond that at this point.
Right now we should not care about Arnett nor the bowl game. Our focus should be on one thing….Coach. And if you are a believer it is time to bow your head with me and ask for God’s blessing on CML and his family.
Yes, Prayer is the one thing we all can do at this time. Prayer for God to heal and peace and strength for the family. Thos are all that is important.
Yea, that was Steve's latest update and someone asked him in another thread if Leach was "In danger of not making it" and Steve said he couldn't give assurances in any way. Just horrible stuff.
Yeah, my wife had 2 heart attacks and St Dom had her out in a couple days each time. A few big stents and off she went. Several years later an aneurysm got her. She never recovered from that. So you never know what day will be your last day.
If you need a heart transplant, good luck at Baptist or St. Dominic's. I do need one. Hoping to get listed soon.
How much does Steve actually know here?
Personal health information, even for public figures, is generally respected and protected. The hospital probably isn't even allowed to say he's getting treatment there right now.
If they fly you anywhere it's damn sure life or death situation. Side note: If you can get to the University alive you have a great chance of making it. They are good are at it.
The info will get out. I'm sure most of the coaching staff knows what's going on and he probably has access to that info in some form.
This is a sad thread that puts things in perspective especially the older guys like me. I've made some positive changes over the last few months in drinking less and incorporating 5 sets of pushups every other day. When I started about 5-6 weeks ago, I could barely do ONE DAMN PUSHUP. I'm now knocking out 33-35 in 5 sets that takes less than 15 minutes and that number contiues to grow. Don't think you can't do it because Can't Never Could. And I'm about to go fix my dinner. Mahi Mahi on the stove top with just a little canola oil, kidney beans loaded with maters , onions & garlic, celery, oregano and hot sauce. Turnip greens with no fat but onions, garlic and some chopped beets that have been soaking in spices and vinegar. Make the changes HAPPEN. God Bless all Y'all.
