Teen in Intensive care.

A few weeks ago i placed a post about a group of teenage lads that go to my gym who share the same dirty pin over and over again and im sorry to have to say that one of them,19 year old is in Intensive Care in Southmead Hospital on a ventilator with severe sepsis.

Sadly hes been given less than a 20% chance of pulling through.
The rest of the group refused to give any info on how he got into the state hes in for fear of getting into trouble which only delayed any help and treatment he could of recieved.To make matters worse even further the substance they were using,believing it to be test prop,turned out to be Caster oil.

Taking these kind of risks will cost you more than you realise.

Fake gear,lack of brain,insuficient kit will cost you your very life.

My thoughts are with the boys family.
