So many fans of Republic of Ireland footballer Shane Duffy were saddened by what happened to the footballer. Duffy ruptured his hepatic artery while training on Friday. And then the footballer was rushed to the hospital for a surgery.

But Duffy was reported yesterday being moved from the intensive care unit at Dublin’s Mater Hospital to the high-dependency unit. The footballer made a rapid progress.

However, the Republic’s team doctor Alan Byrne indeed confirmed that the footballer went through a really life-threatening experience. And that the doctor conceded that the footballer seemed very frightened.

“Shane was very frightened. He thought he is going to die,” said Byrne. “There was 3.6 litres of blood in his abdomen that had leaked from an artery, and he had received over 20 units of blood. You are pouring it in one way and it is leaking out the other way. All you can do at that stage is put as much fluid in as you can because you are trying to keep the circulation going to the brain and to the heart.”

Good thing the doctor was able to immediately figure out the footballer earned himself a serious injury after colliding with Irish amateur team goalkeeper Adrian Walsh.

“I wasn’t quite sure of the nature of it,” said Byrne. “He was in so much pain and I needed to know where that pain was. After a while, he was able to say it was near his lower breastbone, so what you think is the worst case scenario – the sac that covers your heart is behind there and you can bleed into that from a trauma, collapse your lungs, break your sternum.”

At least Duffy was checked immediately by the team doctor and then was brought to the hospital. If the footballer was not checked immediately and then brought to the hospital, then just the worst happened.
