Topic: Coma

A donor from Savannah, Georgia, shared a story of a friend who was placed in a medically induced coma after taking Paxlovid for COVID-19. The patient reportedly suffered severe adverse reactions within 12 hours of the first dose, requiring a 22-day hospital stay to stabilize. Medical staff allegedly informed the patient that such reactions to the drug regimen are becoming a known occurrence in clinical settings.

Producer Chris Wilson's "digital detox" is compared to a story about rock singer Eddie Money. The hosts recount a legend that Eddie Money entered a coma for a year following a drug binge, only to return to the public eye as if he had never left. They debate whether Wilson's continued emailing constitutes a true detox.
