Australian Cricketer Phillip Hughes is not breathing on his own,
Doctor Said today at medical bulletin, on air this morning that medical technology is currently breathing for Hughes — and added that “today is a critical day”
for the 25-year-old batsman.
“What
happened is that the blow from the cricket ball damaged … a major artery in the
back of his head and that caused bleeding over the skull and prevented blood
from going to the brain,” Doctor said, “Today is a critical day. I repeat, this is
much more serious than anyone imagined. Medical technology is currently
breathing for him. The brain is very sick and we pray for miracles.”Hughes remains
in an induced coma. But Later Doctor Conform that he stops Breathing & dies... at St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney on Thrusday.
Questions have been raised about why an ambulance took 23 minutes to reach
Sydney Cricket Ground after Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes was hit by a
bouncer during a match on on Tuesday. Despite the nearest ambulance station
being just 800m away
Health Minister Jillian Skinner last night said she would meet with the
state’s ambulance commissioner following the revelation.
Ambulance also originally claimed it had not
received an emergency call for 14 minutes, also it later clarified that ambulance station, received two calls for assistance, with the first call
being just six minutes after the incident.
CA (Cricket Australia) said We’ve all
seen the sickening footage of the moment Hughes staggered and fell face first
onto the pitch after being hit on the
head by a bouncer delivered by Sean Abbott.
But as we
anxiously scan news updates for any word on Hughes’ condition, we also feel
desperately sorry for the man who unwittingly delivered the blow to his friend
and former team-mate.
It’s hard
to imagine the shock and grief Sean Abbott must be feeling, and today, the whole
country is standing behind both young men. Because this could happen to anyone. Cricket is the great Australian pastime.
Chances are you grew up playing it at school or in your own backyard.
This is a terribly sad and completely unexpected accident, especially
for a sport which is usually believed to be safe.
Our thoughts are as much with Sean Abbott as they are with Phillip Hughes.
The 25-year-old batsman was born in the rural town of Macksville on the
NSW north coast on November 30, 1988. But he moved to the big smoke of
Sydney at 16 to pursue his passion for the sport that could cost him his life. Yet he is a
country boy through and through. His nickname is Boof. His dad Greg is a banana
farmer. And in 2009 he made Test debut for Australia at the age of 20.
Sean Anthony Abbott Boller.
Abbott delivered the blow that felled Hughes just weeks after making his
Twenty20 and one-day international debuts for Australia. Not much is known
about the up-and-comer, besides the fact that before this, his future looked
very bright. The 22-year-old was born in a leap year on 29 February, 1992 in Windsor,
NSW. He started playing for NSW at the age of 18. Abbott was the first to rush to Hughes’ side after he collapsed and was
seen cradling his head and later helping his mate onto a stretcher. He was
visibly distressed, cricketing community
unites behind him.
Cricketer Marcus North described him on Twitter as a “great young kid”
while Adam Gilchrist urged him to “stay strong” and Dean Jones’ touchingly
Tweeted that it was “Not your fault young man”.
By all reports, Hughes and Abbott are two thoroughly good men.
Neither of them deserved this. And both of them will be needing all the support they can get in the
days and weeks to come.
