Aaron Singerman hospitalized
by Anthony Robert

For those of you who haven’t been keeping up, Aaron Singerman (host of Off Topic) recently made a return to the stage, competing in his first bodybuilding contest in several years. For his efforts, the 224 pound superheavy weight earned himself a second place trophy, and a trip to the emergency room.

Diuretics are the likely culprit here, as his symptoms began about 13 hours ago, rapidly progressing to the point where he checked himself into a hospital, and subsiding by early this morning when he declared himself to be slowly improving.

UPDATE: Aaron's potassium levels were at 2.0 and now just fell to 1.8. Hypokalemia is no joke. Potassium should be 3.5+. He was moved to the ICU as a possible heart attack risk.

^Apparently he's improved since that update.

Didn't Momo Benaziza die from dieuretics?

Get well soon, Aaron Singerman.

He posted that we should all listen to Off Topic for the full details. lol Wow! Never stop pimping the show! Even from his hospital bed!

Aaron, I love you like brother, but I honestly have to tell you that was possibly one of the most reckless and stupid things to do, especially considering your high profile in this biz, your affiliation with us, and your business of "contest prep." You took the fact that you were not in shape far too lightly to think that you could counter your shortcoming and over-carbing with excessive diuretics, without even knowing the potential damage you could do, or the correct protocol to pull you back out if things went wrong - which they did. Exacerbating matters, dumping copious amounts of alcohol down your gullet afterwards was also insanely stupid.

I'm actually shocked that you would take such a course of action so lightly. Not only have you done serious damage to your prep business, but you made yourself look like a clown. Not to mention, it was extremely cavelier of you to make light of what serious bodybuilders do. It looks to me like you made joke of this whole contest and took it WAY too far. You almost "acted" yourself into a coffin. I still don't think you fully realize how close you came to dying - especially considering that most doctors have no idea how to counteract what you did to yourself. One of the first orders of using drugs without medical supervision - especially for off label uses - is to know ALL of the potential problems with its use and how to counteract it. The huge alcohol consumption on top of your high diuretic use was just intolerably STUPID.

I'm very glad we are all not writing "RIP" after your thread right now. And, I honestly hope you learned a valuable lesson here.
