He suspected food poisoning, but his symptoms worsened until he couldn't bear it and called 911. The next day, family members took the sick and disoriented Andrews to the emergency room at University of Cincinnati Medical Center (UCMC). That was the last thing he recalls prior to a three-week coma in the intensive care unit.  http://www.uc.edu/news/NR.aspx?id=18026 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 04:00:00 GMT
