I’m pretty sure drowning while on land after leaving the water is a thing

Edit - Yup, “Secondary drownings can develop hours after a swim, bath or anything that occurs with water. Secondary drowning is without water remaining in the airways. It is a secondary injury which is often classed as a drowning incident.

It’s is a very mild form of drowning, You take a bit of water and sputter and cough, but seem OK shortly thereafter. Over time, a reaction develops in the lungs. The water itself is gone, but the lungs become inflamed. There is a change in blood flow that impacts the lung sacs.”

No. This isn’t a Lions team anyone can just circle as a W on the calendar anymore. You guys have a great core and idc what anyone says about Goff, the guy got stiffed in LA and could’ve done the same thing stafford did. As a Bills fan, the lions have my respect as a good team.

He saved 2 kids and 2 adults, but was tired and couldn’t make it out of the water himself. He didn’t necessarily get them all to shore, just out of the rip current. Escambia county then got him out of the water with a jet ski, but he ingested a lot of water (he was drowning) and has lung and kidney damage. Better article by our local station, WEARTV 3. They explained it much better on the local news.
