Pastor urging lawmakers to expand Medicaid rushed to hospital after collapsing at Capitol
March 20, 2024
Jackson, MS - A minister collapsed at the Mississippi State Capitol on Wednesday while standing with fellow clergy members pleading with lawmakers to expand Medicaid coverage to some of the state’s poorest residents. The Rev. Darryl Magee, senior pastor at St. Thomas Missionary Baptist Church in Bolton, was carried away from the building by ambulance after experiencing a medical emergency. He was resuscitated by doctors at the Capitol and rushed to Baptist Medical Center, where he was awake and with family on early Wednesday afternoon. The emergency halted a press conference, where about 50 clergy members from different denominations were advocating for Medicaid expansion. Dozens of people watched silently in the rotunda while doctors worked to save the pastor’s life. Several bystanders hugged others or wiped tears from their faces, and many ministers prayed for Magee as he was being tended to.

Australian Open breakout star Arthur Cazaux has suffered a worrying fainting episode in the heat at the Miami Open. The 21-year-old led his French countryman Harold Mayot in the third set of their first-round qualifying when his health scare ended the match after two hours and 10 minutes. Mayot was in the opening stages of his service motion when Cazaux suddenly rocked to his left and fell to the court. Cazaux, who has long counted his fitness as one of his biggest advantages, settled on his back and was briefly motionless before an official rushed to his aide. In a positive sign, he was awake and talking when he left the court in a wheelchair.

Andy Murray's opponent Matteo Berrettini nearly collapses in 'very worrying scenes' at Miami Open
March 20, 2024

Matteo Berrettini [27] appeared to almost collapse during the second set of his defeat to Andy Murray at the Miami Open on Wednesday. The Italian almost lost his balance as he was preparing to serve and had to be seen by doctors before resuming the first-round clash. Berrettini was set to serve at 5-2 down and bounced the ball in his usual setup on the baseline. But he appeared to lose balance, using his racket to hold himself up as he almost fell to his right. The 27-year-old clutched his head as he stumbled a couple of yards across the court. The umpire made her way over to Berrettini to check on him and the medics were quick to attend by the side of the court. Berrettini had his blood pressure taken as he also took on more fluids and energy supplements. Former British No 1 Tim Henman was on co-commentary for Sky Sports and was shocked by the incident. Henman said: "That was so unexpected. Berrettini has been playing good tennis and moving well, and all of a sudden looked extremely wobbly on his feet." Annabel Croft also gave her verdict on the incident, claiming she thought Berrettini was 'going to faint'. Berrettini was deemed fit enough to continue and kept the second set alive, winning his next service game to love. But Murray then saw out the set 6-3 to take it to a decider. Henman still questioned whether Berrettini was in a condition to compete in the remainder of the match. He said: "The question mark right now is Berrettini. He obviously had a bit of a strange turn at the end of that second set, feeling very dizzy on the court.”
