Popular Post webfact Posted January 4 Popular Post Share Posted January 4 During her trip to Thailand, the woman was electrocuted by power lines, blacked out, and then was quickly rushed to the hospital. A US-based orthodontist and well-known influencer recently said that she is "so grateful to be here" after suffering an electric shock from downed power lines during her trip to Thailand last month. Taking to Instagram, Dr Cara Hodgson revealed she had spent the last ten days in the hospital. She wrote that during her trip to Thailand, she was electrocuted by power lines, blacked out, and then was quickly rushed to the hospital. "In the blink of an eye it could all be taken away. Lucky to be here, 2024. Life is so precious. One second you have it, and the next second it can be taken away from you just like that," the doctor wrote in her post. "I had a freak accident on my trip and was electrocuted by power lines and ended up blacking out and being rushed to the ER in Thailand. It's been the worst 10 days of my life - going in and out of hospitals fighting to regain my strength and fighting for my life. I am so lucky to be here today," she added.

Popular Post Robbie2618 Posted January 4 Popular Post Share Posted January 4 When one hears anything happening to an "Influencer", the first thought that comes to mind is a staged incident, not saying this is one of them but when they go on to give no specifics of the alleged incident just her word it happened, it does throw some shade on it. Also, her saying in and out of the hospital means she wasn't hospitalized there for 10 days but the article would lead many to think that if they were paying attention. 3 2 2 5 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tedly Posted January 4 Popular Post Share Posted January 4 Hope she fully recovers, but I wonder why the need to mention how many followers she has in Instagram, like what does that have to do with anything. I laugh at the term "influencer" too, they sure don't influence me. 3 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroveHillWanderer Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 2 hours ago, NanLaew said: Yup, just another 'influencer' wasting oxygen. While it's true she didn't go into massive detail (very possibly due to having blacked out when it happened) she did say how it happened - she said she was electrocuted by power lines. So that statement from the article isn't quite accurate. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post retarius Posted January 4 Popular Post Share Posted January 4 Honestly given the state of the electricity supply (above ground), and the state of electrical systems inside homes installed by incompetent 'electricians', I am shocked (sic) that electrocution is not the number one cause of death in Thailand. I paid for mu house t n]be earthed.....it is not, if you open up any socket there is a green wire about one foot long, going nowhere. The 'electrician' saves some money and time I suppose. 1 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
