Man who went to the doctor for a broken tooth was found to have multiple serious infections throughout his body – El Nuevo Diario (Dominican Republic)

Santo Domingo – An American man named Brandon Baker went to the doctor for a broken tooth. Instead, he spent seven months being treated for multiple infections that nearly killed him. .

When he went to see a doctor, he was diagnosed with the flu, but over the next three weeks he continued to have health problems and lost about 20 kilograms because he was unable to eat.

The man was diagnosed with bronchitis, pneumonia and meningitis and some time later he lost consciousness in the shower and had to be admitted to the intensive care unit because of fluid in his lungs.

He later arrived at a hospital, where doctors discovered he had a “severe blood infection throughout his body, almost septicemia.”

Brandon’s health problems didn’t end there, he developed bacterial endocarditis, an infection of the lining of the heart or heart valves.

Medical issues led to him being hospitalized for 28 days and undergoing heart surgery, and he said on TikTok, “I felt like the sickest person I had ever seen.”
