A relative of mine ended up in the emergency room a couple of days ago after a very bad sneeze.
The violent sneeze threw his back out, and the resulting spasm of severe pain rendered him unconscious, and he collapsed on the floor. When he finally came to, it was all he could do to crawl to the phone and call the hospital, who advised him to dial 911 for an ambulance.
We visited him today at the rehab center where he is undergoing physical therapy. He doesn't know just what might trigger another incident, as even actions taken very gingerly might cause one.
