Doug Winger in the Hospital
10 years ago
General
For those familiar with Doug Winger, he is in the hospital with pneumonia. According to 
dustmeat here His condition is extremely poor because he waited until the last minute to go to the hospital. It is also stated that Doug has COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), which I imagine doesn't help matters.
And according to
saara here
Last time I spoke with Schirm, a couple of weeks ago, I asked about Doug's health. I've been in the habit of doing this whenever talking to either Steve or Schirm, so I feel as though I've been watching Doug deteriorate for years. How did it happen? Terrible diet -- microwaved weiners for the most part, and whatever KFC or pizza that Steve and Bob have left. Decades of smoking. Less than no excercise, if it's possible. Add to that a fear of doctors and total indifference to his health. The internet has been his life since he moved to California, and it has sucked the life out of him.
Less melodramatically, he had been having trouble with his teeth and I believe dental abscesses. It may have just been enough to weaken his immune system that an opportunistic virus like pneumonia to take hold.
While I am not a fan of his (hyper cock and such), I do wish him the best and a speedy recovery if possible.

Hope he gets well soon
Oddly someone put his name in the game Rimworld, and my friend killed the NPC baring his name who attempted to ambush him.
Had no idea why I cried out "Winger, Noooo!"
