Busy paramedics at Nationals

Karen Duggan
Did anyone notice that the paramedics were very busy at Nationals? I saw a lady dislocate her shoulder My teammate badly dislocated his finger and broke it Another, broke his toe Another whacked his foot on the wall I saw an older lady bleeding profusely I, myself, forgot to breathe the first 80 or so yards of the 200 back, hyperventilated, and had paramedics... And that's just what I saw! I certainly wasn't there the whole time. Anything else, or was it mostly my team? :p

  • KAREN!!! I'm so relieved you were ok after your 200 Back!! I was watching you swim the race and cheering you on!! You looked FANTASTIC!!! Then, at the 150 turn, you all of a sudden looked like you were hurting. I was standing next to your coach and he said,"Something is wrong! She is really hurting!" When you finished and were struggling so hard to breathe, I was very worried about you. When the paramedics came over and put you on the heart monitor, I got very concerned. I'm soooo glad you were "ok" ;) I'm sure you didn't feel "ok" but at least it wasn't something serious. That had to be scary for you. I have to tell you how sweet it was to see your children and husband cheering for you. The kids brought a lump and tears to my eyes!! It was very sweet!! I wish my family could have come with me. Unfortunately, my girls are older and had exams they couldn't miss. Enjoy it while you can!!
