Ben Askren Moved to Wisconsin Hospital...

I usually don't pay too much attention to Chael, but this one seems note worthy. Ben's situation is not good. He has pneumonia and his entire body is infected with staph. Also, there is a hole in his lung and he needs a lung transplant. That sounds terrible. Can someone with a medical background explain this a little bit. I know that Staph can be 'flesh eating'. Is that what is potentially causing the hole in him lung? I hope Ben makes a full and speedy recovery. He was a good human being submitted by /u/dantoddd [link] [comments]
