LAST EDITED ON 03-15-12 AT 08:41 AM (EST)Boston Rob in HvV early on, remember he passed out as well, but only had the flu, not a medical condition.
Boston Rob, however, was never removed from the game as I recall, though. They treated him on the spot...finally, Jiffy got him up and I think he walked back to camp on his own.
Bruce had what they thought was some kind of bowel obstruction....also could be just from dehydration....bowel impaction. He was indeed removed for good.
Any infection that has gotten to the point of raising his heart rate to 120, after he's been laying down for a while is very serious....more likely the increased HR is from dehydration. (Not to say that he doesn't have an infection of some kind as well)
Good spec, OFG, regarding the clue that he indeed could be removed as he did indeed receive a nice focus at TC which could have been his goodbye. Especially if he were removed early in the episode, it would make sense. We need to keep our eyes open for 2 people possibly sitting out for Salani....it would clue us in as to when the med-evac occurs.
