Have you heard of rhabdomyolysis? (Death during drill training)

Recently, a trainee who died after receiving physical punishment showed symptoms suspected to be rhabdomyolysis.

 

 

This is the first time I've heard of it; what is rhabdomyolysis?

 

When muscles are damaged due to excessive fever, strenuous strength exercises, trauma, alcohol consumption, epilepsy, or drug abuse,

 

Skeletal muscle cells dissolve or die, causing an excessive release of myoglobin into the bloodstream.

 

It is said to be a disease that blocks and damages the kidneys. ㅠ (Source: Namu Wiki)

 

 

 

A message left by a fellow recruit's parent became a topic of discussion.

 

There are opinions that some of the content not reported in the news might also be true.

 

 

It is said that the cause of death of the trainee who died after a night march in the Army in 2012 also included rhabdomyolysis.

 

The medical staff concluded that severely damaged muscle tissue caused by intense exercise blocked blood vessels and the urethra, leading to renal failure and resulting in death.

 

If the deceased trainee this time also died from rhabdomyolysis, the criticism of excessive physical punishment is likely to be intense.
