Lil Wayne has lost consciousness after suffering two seizures while on his private jet, TMZ reports. Weezy was reportedly flying from Milwaukee to California when he had to make an emergency landing in Nebraska after suffering his first seizure. Wayne refused treatment when paramedics arrived on the scene. He then boarded his flight for a second time, but a second seizure prompted another emergency landing Wayne was unconscious when paramedics treated him. He was then transported to a hospital by a ambulance.
Lil Wayne was rushed to the hospital in March 2013 after suffering multiple seizures. He suffered complications from long-term lean use of Lean.
Dr. George Fallieras, an emergency room physician and hospitalist at Good Samaritan Hospital, said codeine is an “opiate” and is in the “same family of drugs as heroin and morphine,” according to the Los Angeles Times.
Fallieras commented codeine addiction is the same as heroin addiction, only without the needles. This is due to the large amounts of codeine Lean drinkers induce.
He further said it is difficult to overcome Lean addiction and likened codeine withdrawal to the worst flu possible.
“One patient said to me, ‘Imagine the worst flu when you’re shivering, you’re vomiting, you can’t eat, you have diarrhea, every atom in your body hurts, you can’t sleep, you lie on the floor just shivering … and multiply that times a million,’” Fallieras told the Times. “And you know if you can just take the pill or inject yourself with heroin, that it just all goes away.”
