Bitter Cold at Chiefs Playoff Game Leads to Amputations
In a chilling reminder of the dangers of extreme cold, a Missouri hospital has revealed that some fans who attended the frigid Kansas City Chiefs playoff game against the Miami Dolphins in January had to undergo amputations due to severe frostbite.
Research Medical Center in Kansas City stated that during an 11-day cold snap that gripped the region, it treated dozens of people for frostbite injuries. Tragically, 12 of those individuals – including some who had been at the Chiefs’ wild-card playoff game on January 13th – were forced to have parts of their bodies amputated, primarily fingers and toes.
