Star in intensive care after catastrophic reaction to alcohol withdrawal


SOCCER legend Paul Gascoigne was last night fighting for his life after suffering a catastrophic reaction to alcohol withdrawal.

The frail star is in intensive care after his organs began to shut down in the hours following his arrival at a rehab clinic in the US.

A source close to the star revealed the tragic development last night. He said: “Gazza’s in a bad way. He’s much worse than he was and desperately needs help.

“He’s had really bad withdrawal symptoms relating to not drinking since arriving at the clinic.

"His internal organs are shutting down and he’s in intensive care — it’s a potentially life-threatening situation.

"If he doesn’t receive the best treatment from doctors he could die.”

I don't see it printed anywhere else but The Sun so it's more than likely sensationalist bullshit.

No wonder he they chose to send him to an American boot camp   If it was me and I know of many who have had to do the rehab thing America would be last choice all they want is a pile of money.    He's got organ shut down due to no booze they say   Haven't they heard of heminevrin  for starters
They will finish him off and that's sad

Gascoigne, who has long suffered with alcoholism, checked into a treatment centre in Arizona last week after his agent raised fears for his life.

Reports emerged that he had been taken into intensive care, and his former England team-mate Gary Lineker tweeted at 1am on Sunday morning: "Gazza is struggling, Let's hope he can hang on in there. Others have generously offered to help."

Mabbutt, who played alongside Gascoigne at Tottenham Hotspur, told Sky Sports News later on Sunday that the 45-year-old's life is not in immediate danger.

Mabbutt said: "Unfortunately over the last few weeks Paul has had a relapse, which culminated finally, last Monday, in Paul asking for help. By Monday afternoon he was on a plane out to Arizona to a clinic specialising in dealing with Paul's specific problems.

"The first thing he underwent was a detox - unfortunately Paul had a very bad reaction to the detox and the clinic decided that as a precaution it was best to transfer him to hospital.

"He was transferred to hospital in intensive care where they could monitor him 24-7, but I spoke to Paul's medical team in the UK this morning - they had spoken to Paul and he's recovering and hopefully soon he will be back into the clinic to continue his rehab.

"Over the years he has had a lot of support from the football family, but of course it could be a long road to recovery. Now Paul's asked for the help we can focus on getting through this.''

What's that other overpriced American one with a failure rate worse than gazzas organs the Betty ford clinic    Guaranteed to be back on everything inside 3 months but £100000 lighter
There's a place down in the countryside near Bristol were if you are an artist you paint a writer you write etc and you contribute to your keep massive success rates i won't name them they wouldn't probably like it  most people who are f ucked up and in the entertainment  or arts world would know gazza prefers the publicity way

" it’s a potentially life-threatening situation "

... as opposed to a life threatening situation?

That's true JD , there is also one in Twickenham. I suspect the helpers are trying to get some publicity going as he will need lots of help when he is released, if he ever gets that far.
