A few weeks ago, Leon Tsoukernik, the former owner of Kings Casino Rozvadov, fell into a coma following improper use of medication. His condition was critical, but he has fully recovered. He recently expressed his gratitude to the medical team that saved him. The King’s Resort Founder stated, “I’m absolutely fine, I feel fantastic,” after recovering from the life-threatening condition.
Leon Tsoukernik Fell Into a Coma
The incident occurred on the night of January 13-14, at Tsoukernik’s residence. Reports indicate that he was given Propofol, a short-acting hypnotic typically used in hospitals as a fast-acting general anesthetic, through an unprofessional intravenous injection. Propofol can only be administered by an anesthesiologist. The drug induces sleep within 30 seconds and is sometimes used to treat severe insomnia.
He soon fell into a coma following the use of the drug and had to be airlifted to the hospital. The doctors were deeply concerned, as they feared the worst. After being 40 hours in a coma, the medical team attempted to revive him, which they successfully did. Despite regaining consciousness, his recovery remained uncertain, and his condition was still shaky.
Leon Tsoukernik is Now Out of Danger
The latest update on Leon Tsoukernik’s health is highly encouraging as he is in high spirit and good health. His recovery is progressing faster than anticipated, and he has even been able to give a brief Facetime interview to the Czech website Forbes.cz. In the interview, he stated, “I’m absolutely fine, I feel fantastic. I’m feeling fantastic, I’m feeling fine, I’m feeling fine.”
He expressed his deep gratitude, saying, “My undying gratitude goes to KARIM Clinic of Anaesthesiology, Resuscitation, and Intensive Care Medicine. The quality of care I received is unmatched anywhere in the world. These wonderful people gave me a second life, led by Professor Benes.
Tsoukernik concluded the interview by thanking her wife Sandra. “I am grateful from the bottom of my heart to my wife, Sandra, who spent days and nights at my bedside. I believe that played a role.”
