According to CNN on the 26th, Woods was transferred from the Harbor-California University of Los Angeles (UCLA) Medical Center to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in the same state, where he was transported and operated immediately after the accident.
“Woods was initially treated at Harbor-UCLA, but was transferred to Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles (LA) on the 25th for orthopedic treatment and recovery,” said Anish Mahajan, interim chief executive of the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. Said.
“It was an honor to be able to treat the trauma to one of the greatest athletes of our generation, representing the staff,” said Mahajan. Cedars Sinai Hospital, which Woods moved, is a large hospital with 886 beds. In the western United States, it is the second best hospital after UCLA Medical Center. It was ranked 7th in the United States and received trauma center certification.
Located in the heart of Los Angeles, adjacent to Beverly Hills and Hollywood, it is more accessible than the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center where Woods was operated.
Woods is known to have no memory of the accident. CNN quoted the remarks of the Los Angeles County Sheriff Villanueva, saying, “When I saw Woods in the hospital on the 23rd, he told the investigator that he had no memory of the accident.”
On the 23rd, at 7:12 am on the 23rd, while driving the Genesis GV80, a luxury brand of Hyundai Motors, while moving around Rancho Palos Verdes in Los Angeles, California, he suffered a rollover accident.
Woods hit the median on this road, passed through the next two-lane road heading south, picked up curbs and trees, rolled several times, and stopped in a bush about 6m from the road. Looking at the pictures of the accident, the car was lying with its side facing the sky.
Earlier, foreign media such as the Washington Post (WP) gave mixed prospects for Woods’ recovery.
WP quoted David L. Helpert of Manhattan Special Surgery and Orthopedic Surgeon, predicting that Woods would take at least two to three months to recover.
WP quoted PGA golfer and orthopedic surgeon Bill Malone, “When you have a fracture like this in your lower extremities, it takes about three months to recover enough to withstand your weight.”
The British daily telegraph quoted Nick Cullen, a leg and ankle specialist at the Royal National Orthopedic Hospital in the UK on the 25th (local time), saying, “It will be classified as a whole leg injury,” and “I don’t think I should amputate immediately There is a possibility of that.”
