Monsters Inside Me on Animal Planet

I found the most recent story about a Lemierre's diagnosis while I was reading a blog I frequent about a young teen, Justin Rodgers, who fought Lemierre's and lost his battle. His sister has grown the nonprofit she established for him after his death. I have seen it grow over the years. Here is a link to his site:

Anyways, the story I read on her blog was about a story which aired in December last year on Animal Planet. Here is a brief synopsis which I am quoting from the Press Enterprise: 

"Abram, 23, was admitted to the hospital in April 2010 after complaining of a sore throat. He was subsequently diagnosed by Roberts and Dr. Tim Stevens, a former Arrowhead Regional oral surgery resident, with Lemierre’s — which is named after a French bacteriologist who, in 1936, documented 20 cases in which throat infections migrated to the bloodstream, potentially damaging vital organs. Abram was hospitalized for 28 days in the intensive care unit."

"An Arrowhead Regional Medical Center physician and a former patient who overcame a potentially deadly and rare disease known as Lemierre’s Syndrome will be featured in an upcoming episode of “Monsters Inside Me,” an Animal Planet Network television show."

I often think of Justin Rodgers because he was a healthy teen, like my daughter Bri, and he died and she is alive and thriving now at University California Santa Barbara.
