NASHVILLE, TN…(August 20, 2013)…Singer-songwriter Chris Young
returned home to Nashville this past weekend after being admitted last
week to Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center in Denver for a dangerous
bacterial infection as a result of a small cut on his leg. Chris was en
route to a tour date in Montana on Tuesday, August 13th when
he began to go into septic shock and was taken by ambulance to the
Denver, Colorado hospital. The medical team, consisting of Dr. Anthony
Canfield, Dr. Wendy Gill, and Dr. Janet Suarez, responded quickly and
immediately started Young on medications to stop the infection from
spreading. In addition, an emergency surgery was scheduled for shortly
after midnight on August 14th where they removed the infection from Chris’s leg.
