    1) Internal injuries that are too small to show up clearly on scans but become problematic in 24-48hrs.

    2) A brain bleed that is delayed and again doesn’t show up on scans till the bleed extends.

    3) Your body goes into shock and sometimes crashes as it comes out of it.

    Protocol is to stabilize for 1-2 days then a step down unit for another day or two. Repeat scans and then discharge after mobility is assessed.

    Interesting, thankyou for sharing. So we should know by saturday the full extent of his injuries?

      I doubt that very much and it's rather a dangerous idea to even have in your head.

        Thanks for the information bro. Hoping Spence makes a full recovery. Forget boxing right now, he has kids he needs to take care of

            I wouldn’t call it a miracle.

            I’d say he’s extremely lucky.

                    Of course its dangerous but if you look at the crash if he were still buckled in his head would have smashed the concrete he was driving a convertible.

                    Him flying out he probably landing miraculously to avoid serious damage.

                    Its a 1 in a million chance, in general one should always buckle up, but in this instance him being ejected actually helped him.
