I just read a great story about a Brøndby fan who was diagnosed with brain tumor after he got hit with a ball in the head during pre-match warm up.
[MENTION=8742]Trickykid[/MENTION] [MENTION=20959]BarçaBarça[/MENTION]On August 28th, a Danish club Brøndby IF was playing a league match vs FC København. During the pre-match warm up, a Brøndby player Kamil Wilczek (Poland) missed a shot and the ball hit a head of a Brøndby fan, David Nielsen. The medical team on the stadium took care of Nielsen and he underwent a series of medical examinations. During that, a head X-ray shown that Nielsen has a brain tumor. Thanks to that incident, he now has chances of being completely cured.
Nielsen's facebook post. Translation:
Hi everybody. My name is David and I'm the person who has been hit with a ball during a warm up before the match against København. I want to thank the medical personnel, security and all club employees, and also fans who were standing near me and reacted immediately, because that saved my life. I can't describe how grateful I'm for their effort. It turned out that I have a brain tumor and this wouldn't be discovered if Wilczek didn't hit my head with a ball, so I'm also very grateful for him for what happened. Especially because such a professional medical staff would never take care of me like now. Now I'm going to have a surgery etc. Thank you everyone one more time, I'll be forever grateful.
