Within hours, that feeling escalated into something far more serious.
“I blacked out,” he says. “And I didn’t wake up for a long time.”

Multiple amputations were performed.
To save his life, surgeons ultimately removed both of his hands and both of his feet.

But at the time, he didn’t wake up to that reality immediately. For weeks, his body remained in a fragile state, suspended between life and death. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media
