Lung contusion

May 05, 2009 23:33

So, the Ducks website says James Wisniewski has a lung contusion and will remain in the hospital overnight for observation.

My quick and dirty research on pulmonary contusions says that "the severity ranges from mild to deadly... most common type of potentially lethal chest trauma... estimated mortality rate of 14-40%."

Yikes. I'm worried. And not about our chances in the playoffs. :(

Get well, James!

ETA: ...And I just realized, Wisniewski has the same number as Nick Adenhart. Please, dear God, don't let that be an omen.
