Im a nurse and cant remember seeing a pressure wound in the last 3 years (it does occur but only in those very few patients who dont cooperate in their care). Much less an infected one. I would've thought he had the best care money could buy...
I thought the same thing and asked my wife, a nurse, about it. She said she wasn't surprised at all with his condition that he was getting bed sores despite whatever care he was receiving, and that the infection probably went after his heart valves.

Millions of people die every day, why should I mourn over some celebrity.
It's tragic for those who were close to him, that I understand.
It's just that I don't feel "sad" when people die in accidents, disasters, wars, terrorist attacks... I might have feelings like "anger", "confusion" or "curiosity" because of the events that caused losses of lives, but I've never felt sad for them
Well...sometimes some people take on a kind of persona of a symbol or a representation of struggle, goal, or ideal. In that regard I'm saddened by Reeve's passing. For me he symbolised the struggle against the odds and I wish his family the best.
Oh so the suffering and struggle of thousands of people who had the same thing happen to them before him were meaningless until it happened to mister celebrity?
I find that very funny and pathetic

This is almost too pathetic for words. The poor guy was crippled by a terrible accident, then he used his media profile for the good of others by highlighting the trauma him and thousands of others suffer, leading to greater understanding of the condition and more funding being directed to research something that many scientists simply weren't interested in.
He spent the later part of his life doing nothing but campaigning to get people to recognise this condition, then you bash him because he has a high media profile and people didn't notice the condition until someone told them about it.
Congratulations, you're an idiot who is being cynical for cynical's sake.
What next? Mother Teresa was a selfish old hag because she dared to get media attention when there are plenty of others helping people without said attention?
