I suspect he was trying to kill himself and now those quacks put a rod in his leg it is inevitable.


I suspect he was trying to kill himself, and now those quacks put a rod in his leg it is inevitable. I can't imagine the horrors of having a piece of metal hammered into the marrow of your leg. At least he may have the money to get it taken out but I doubt it will be possible. What stupid idiots doing that to a pro golfer. Barbarians. We should all be trying to get out of this country. The medical system is a creep show.

I really doubt anyone would choose THIS method if they wanted to commit suicide. I do suspect, however, that he was high on pain killers because of his recent back surgery.

You internet recluses really do live in a bubble of your own making don't you? It happens so often there is a wikipedia page on it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicular_suicide A young woman who was being beaten by her boyfriend tried to do it on me when she ran a red light and t-boned me. Luckily I was in a car built like a tank, a Ford Fusion. No joke. Her car was a yard sale all over the road and mine just had a gouge in the rear passenger door after spinning around 360 degrees.

YOU'RE THE WORST.

You're just incredibly STUPID! You're all just stupid AF. THE WHOLE WORLD SAYS THIS. This why you were being told to wake up. You are sleepwalking - that's what the native Americans called you, sleep walkers. You're like the zombie apocalypse. You're just flesh and bones walking around without any ability to think other than through algorithms. You believe the most asinine conspiracy theories but when reality is staring you in the face you can't even comprehend.

Kowalski, has this dipshit been giving you trouble?

You're stupid...you can't commit suicide with a vehicle.

Apparently they didn't test him for anything and it doesn't sound like they will do toxicology testing because the deputy who first was on scene said he didn't appear to be drunk or under the influence of narcotics...pffffffft...

No-one can survive having a metal rod put into their leg, it is known !

Moron, it's the mental toll it will have on him. Having a piece of metal in you that your body could one day reject as a foreign object. Hemingway was plagued by his injuries so much he wrote books like Snows of Kilimanjaro and Farewell to Arms as a way to burn off his grief.

reply

Moron, I had a metal rod put into my leg. I didn't know it was there until they told me. Years later I had it taken out and again it was no big deal.

reply

Thanks heavens. Glad you had it taken out. Happy for you. A friend of mine broke his femur slipping on ice, they hammered one of those into his leg and they never took it out. But you're probably lying aren't you?

reply

I suspect that one of us is lying, and it's not me.

Why? Tiger has shown no signs of depression and has no terminal illness. He is still a golfer on the PGA tour - a dream job for just about anyone. I think he may have been impaired. He has had multiple back surgeries (the most recent in December) and he may have been high on pain killers when he rolled his car. Or maybe he was looking at his phone. We don't know and at this point it is all just speculation, but I am reasonably sure he wasn't trying to kill himself.

reply

He was NOT awake during surgery! There are no serious risks from titanium rods. Would you rather let him be crippled?

reply

""I suspect he was trying to kill himself""

what do you base this on?

When I was in college was the first time I knew someone who got a rod "hammered into her leg". The only long-term effect was that she had to stop skiing, because the hard ski boot ended right at the point where the bone had been shattered and was its weakest, and if she fell and broke her leg while wearing a ski boot the break would never heal. Since then, I've met a ton of older folks who broke their hips and had rods hammered into their femurs, and were up and walking in a few days, people who've had back pain healed with rods attached to the spine, horrible breaks patched together with hardware where a generation ago the limb would have to be amputated, etc.

Of course I know shit about Woods' mental state, same as you, but unlike you I know a little about modern orthopedic surgery. FYI when done correctly, it heals people and gets people up and living their lives again.
