Godfrey Gao's Death: Game Show Conditions

[eastaccidental]

A video came out of other celebrities struggling with the game show.

The Chinese variety show #ChaseMe is putting contestants through extreme physical labour to the point actor Godfrey Gao has collapsed on set and died. Just looking at this video alone you can see they were pushed beyond their limits.pic.twitter.com/iTvfXqsUey

This is fucking horrifying.

The second video is especially sad because you can tell by just looking at him that he doesn't feel well at all but he's still going out of his way to be nice to his fans.

Holy shit. That's awful :(

This is so shocking and sad, he was so young.

This is one of the reasons why it's incredibly bad to force/have a culture of encouraging people to work when they're sick, if you have any underlying health problems they are 100000% worse when you're ill. 2 years ago my mum went to work even though she was recoving from the flu and it was very hot, and she had a stroke. We discovered after that it was because she has atrial fibrillation that was triggered by the illness, heat and exertion (plus genetics, apparently loads of people in our family drop dead in their 50s ffs which she failed to flag with a doctor earlier). We're very lucky that her work is close to a hospital, and a charity that works with people with health conditions so she got off lightly and is mostly ok from it.

God that's really scary. I'm glad your mum's doing okay.

Thank you! It was legit the scariest day of my life, I'm so so thankful for her collegues and the NHS for being so on it.

This 100%.
Before I got glasses for the first time, I had these awful headaches with nausea that felt like my skull was getting torn into pieces, all this while I was in my last year of medical school and had to do 24 h services every 4 days. My supervisor (an R4 or 4th-year resident) never believed us when we had health issues and forced us to go to the service and see if we were lying or not. If it was true (and it always was) they give us medicine and maybe a couple of hours to rest, depending on the severity, then once we're able to walk without dying, we have to go back to work.
