Brock Lesnar returns fully recovered says care he received in Canada like ‘a Third World country’

(HMG)- UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar who had been hospitalized due to mono and then a mysterious intestinal disorder has miraculously now fully recovered and is ready to resume his career. As you might recall Lesnar had been dealing with his internal illness for a year, which caused UFC president Dana White to question Lesnar’s future as a fighter. As it turns out Lesnar was dealing with a case of diverticulitis,  a condition that essentially left a hole in his intestine was convinced he needed surgery to

But there is some more positive news now. Lesnar, who announced his return to active fighting this morning, had multiple doctors suggest that life-altering surgery was almost a certainty.

“I was facing a colostomy bag,” said Lesnar. “What they wanted to do was go in and remove the bad section of my colon. If the perforation wouldn’t have healed itself, I was facing removing my colon.Then they can’t reattach right away because of all the inflammation. So then I would’ve been wearing a colostomy bag for 6-8 weeks. Then they go in and reattach my intestines back together”

If that were the case, Lesnar was facing a tough decision with his fighting career.

“I would’ve probably retired.”

Things came to a head last fall when illness and weakness caused Lesnar to sit out almost three weeks of training camp as he prepared to fight Shane Carwin in a bout scheduled for November in Las Vegas, and doctors couldn’t figure out the medical issue, so Lesnar dropped out of the fight.

In an effort to fight depression, he went hunting in Canada where he had a painful diverticulitis attack.

“I felt like I got shot in the gut,” he said.

Lesnar described his Canadian medical care, comparing it to “a third world country” where he couldn’t get any treatment.

“They couldn’t do nothing for me. It was like I was in a third world country. I had to get out of there.”

Lesnar’s wife, former WWE wrestler Sable, took the 6-3, 285-pound giant away from the medical facility in “excruciating pain” and “drove 100 mph” across the border to Bismarck, North Dakota.

“That doctor there saved my career and saved my life,” he said.

Lesnar turned today’s teleconference into a campaign against the drive for universal healthcare in the United States.

“Our healthcare system is a little radical, but we’ve got the best doctors in the world. I don’t believe a total reform is necessary. We don’t need socialistic healthcare in America. The doctors in the United States gave me the best care possible.”
