Poison and Bret Michaels

The Group Poison began in the early 1980s in the town of Los Angeles. Most of its members originated from Pennsylvania, but later moved to Los Angeles where they formed the Paris consisting of Bret Michaels who was on the vocals and guitar, Bobby Dall mostly found on the bass, Rikki Rockett whose position was on the drums, and the lead guitarist was Matt Smith. They changed their name to Group Poison after recruiting C.C. Deville to replace Smith who left the group due to its lack of success. In 1985, they signed in to Capitol Records. The group was known famously as the 'glammiest' band because of their heavy makeup. They released songs like “Rock like a Rocker", and their first album released in 1986 was ‘’Look What the Cat Dragged In’’. The album sold many albums before people came to realize that the group was not an all-girl group as they initially thought. However, they were successful as they released more albums like "Talk Dirty to Me", “I Want Action" and Flesh & Blood in the late 1980s. Bret fought with Deville's and then replaced him with Kotzen. The group has been on many tours despite the challenges facing them. The recent challenge was the health of their lead vocalist, guitarist, harmonica player and percussion Bret Michaels. Bret suffered from stomach pains in 12 April 2010 and had to be rushed to the hospital. This also happened in May 2010 where he had to be rushed to the hospital after suffering from a minor brain hemorrhage (Reilly 3).

Michaels Bret aged 47 suffered from severe stomach pains and had to be rushed to the hospital to be examined by a doctor. The lead vocalist of the Group Poison diagnosed with appendicitis and had to undergo an emergency appendectomy to help save his life. This was on 12 April and he left the hospital after recovering from the appendectomy. Nobody discussed the possible causes of this problem, but the doctors had to remove his appendix to prevent it from bursting and poisoning the other parts of his body. The operation and the recovery process was not a long one and he was back to his home within a few days after admission to the hospital. (Gaynor 12).

However, this was not the end of his hospitalization as only ten days after the appendectomy he was at the hospital again after complaining of unbearable headache on 22 April. Upon checking him repeatedly for the possible cause of the excruciating headaches, the doctors discovered that he had a colossal subarachnoid hemorrhage. The base of his brain stem was bleeding causing him to have the headaches that had him returning to the hospital just a few days after leaving it. The doctors reported that his condition was critical and required crucial care. He was not in a condition to speak upon his admission to the hospital and this situation was reportedly improving by 28 April (Villarreal 1). He was now able to speak, though very slowly, but his situation was improving. However, the doctors claimed this was a premature assumption, as he had to be put under observation to monitor his progress. His representatives assured his fans that he was conscious and was even able to speak through their official website. This was the first time he was able to speak since his admission on April 22. He left the hospital on May 5 2010 and his doctor, Dr. Joseph Zabramski said that he was in a position to make a full recovery despite his fatal condition on his admission to the hospital. The doctor claimed he was among the lucky people who would recover completely from a brain hemorrhage. He was indeed lucky to have survived such serious health problems within a short span of time.

However, this did not to last for long as his official website claimed he was back to the hospital again on May 20, 2010. This time round, he was readmitted at the St. Joseph's Hospital after he suffered from numbness on the left part of his body. The condition was worse in his hands and on his face. The doctors performed several diagnostic tests on him and found out that he had a hole in his heart a condition known scientifically as patent foramen ovale (PFO). The doctors claimed the condition was not something very serious, as an operation on his heart would help rectify the defect. The hole in his heart was causing numbness in his left side because his heart was not in a good condition to pump blood to every part of the body. Luckily, for Michaels Bret the condition was a treatable one and his doctors reassured his fans that he would recover from this condition just as he had done in his previous ones. The numbness was just a small warning of an impending stroke if his condition was not treated early enough. The doctors said that the presence of the hole in his heart was the cause of the transient ischemic attack (TIA). However, the doctors claimed there was no relationship between his earlier brain hemorrhage and his heart problem. The two conditions were different and none was because of the other one. This was according Dr. Joseph Zabramski, Bret’s neurosurgeon who performed the tests on Michaels Bret (Sacks 3).
