Queensland utility Moses Mbye has had a sensational brush with death, after going into anaphylactic shock at the team hotel on Friday morning.
According to The Courier-Mail, Maroons team doctor Matt Hislop saved Mbye's life, coming to his aid within minutes of Mbye collapsing unconscious on the floor.
Hislop immediately used an EpiPen to inject Mbye with adrenaline, with the 25-year-old told he only had minutes to live after his airways closed over, before Hislop arrived at the scene.
“Moses developed a serious allergic reaction and he was worried enough to call me straight away,” Hislop told qrl.com.au.
“By the time I was able to see him, he was beginning to show signs of the reaction with a skin rash and swelling. I started treatment immediately and he responded quickly.
“His vital signs were observed for a number of hours after the event.
“He stabilised and made a complete recovery. We’ve got a well-stocked medical kit to deal with all sorts of emergencies.
“Moses is medically stable, and there is no risk with him playing or training, but he will need to have further tests done when he returns to Sydney.”
Amazingly, Mbye has confirmed to coach Kevin Walters he will be fit to line up against the Blues on Sunday night.
“It was something that came on unexpectedly. I have never experienced anything like that before,” Moses told the Queensland website.
“It was obviously a reaction to something. I started feeling a bit itchy and lightheaded – I phoned the doc and he managed it professionally. We had all our supplies here ready to go and we got on top of it early.
“I’m feeling sweet now and ready to play.”
I have had that type of reaction and it is frightening.
Typical muppet comment from Woody the mong. The guy nearly died and you talk your usual trash. Ain’t you a piece of 💩💩
