Medical Director says 70% of patients from Chiefs game who suffered frostbite will need to schedule amputations
Just how cold was the Chiefs playoff game?
A medical director at the Grossman Burn Center says 70% of patients referred for frostbite injuries suffered in the January playoff game are now being advised to schedule amputations.
Many of those were Chiefs fans who attended the playoff game against the Miami Dolphins where it was -4 degrees with a wind chill of -27 degrees at kickoff.
It was the fourth-coldest game in NFL history and coldest in Chiefs franchise history.
This is crazy, some of the doctors said that some fans didn’t have their gloves on for 5 to 20 minutes and could end up losing their fingers.
Pretty wild….
