‘Pawn Stars’ Corey Harrison issues plea to fans after near-death accident

Corey Harrison, of Pawn Stars fame, is asking fans for help after the exorbitant costs of his medical bills following a motorcycle crash in Mexico.

In January, Corey, 42, was left with 11 fractured ribs, a concussion, and facial injuries as a result of the accident, per TMZ. Life-threatening complications ensued, while Corey was also forced to miss the wedding of his father, Rick Harrison.

Corey, a mainstay in the wildly popular Pawn Stars show, told TMZ that he had prematurely checked himself out of hospital after two weeks due to mounting medical costs.

This, he explained, led to further difficulties. While continuing to recover at his home in Tulum, Mexico, Corey experienced excruciating pain, leading to a house doctor administering IV fluids and morphine.

When Corey’s oxygen level plummeted, he feared he might die. TMZ report that he couldn’t afford to return to the same hospital where he’d been treated, forcing friends to take him to a more affordable facility.

There, Corey underwent three surgeries and spent an additional 18 days hospitalized.

All told, the TV star claims to have spent close to $120,000 on medical bills. He told TMZ that he has just $400 in his bank account, having borrowed money from his father and friends to cover the costs.

Corey has since started a GoFundMe page in the hope that fans will come to his aid.

“What am I going to do, fly out to Vegas and sell stuff? I can’t move from my recliner,” he explained.

TMZ say that though he yet receives residual checks from reruns of Pawn Stars, he’s completely removed from the show.

Meanwhile, father Rick, who varying reports suggest is worth multiple millions of dollars, told TMZ: “Corey is a grown man and he will deal with his life as he sees fit.

Common back-pain drug may be linked to higher dementia risk, large study finds

A pain medication that millions of Americans rely on for chronic back pain may come with a hidden risk: a significantly higher chance of developing dementia or other cognitive problems, according to a major new study. Compared 26,000 adults Researchers from Case Western Reserve University and several partner institutions analyzed medical records from 68 health systems across the U.S., comparing 26,414 adults prescribed gabapentin for persistent low-back pain with a matched group who had similar pain — but didn’t take the drug. Their finding was sobering: Adults who received six or more gabapentin prescriptions were 29% more likely to be diagnosed with dementia and 85% more likely to develop mild cognitive impairment (MCI) within 10 years. The risk wasn’t limited to older adults. In fact, it was younger Americans who saw the most dramatic increases. Younger adults saw shocking risk increases For people normally considered decades away from dementia: Ages 35–49 taking gabapentin ha...

More people are coming out as Aegosexual – here’s what it means

As discussions around sexuality become more layered, so does the vocabulary used to describe them. One term now drawing attention is aegosexual, an “identity-less” experience that’s defined by “disconnection.” With gender and sexuality now part of everyday conversation, it’s no surprise that a growing number of new labels are finding their way into the mainstream. Aegosexuality, part of the asexual spectrum, describes people who experience arousal or desire without wanting to engage in sexual activity. At its core, the identity centers on a disconnect between experiencing attraction and wanting to personally act on it. ‘Disconnection’ The concept was first introduced in 2012 by Canadian psychologist and sexologist Anthony Bogaert, who originally referred to it as “autochorissexualism.” Bogaert described the experience as an “identity-less sexuality,” that’s “characterized by a disconnection between their sense of self and a sexual object or target.” In practical terms, someone wh...
