On Patrol: Live’s very own Deputy Dalton Swanger is facing a major obstacle when it comes to his recovery. He has already had some issues, and now, it is even more challenging. So, what is the current status, and how can it be remedied? Keep reading for more details on the situation.
Deputy Swanger Faces Major Obstacle
It was a nightmare when On Patrol: Live fan favorite, Deputy Dalton Swanger, was hit with a giant rock while on duty. He knew he felt something coming at him, but was unsure what had actually happened. Deputy Swanger had gone to assist with a domestic disturbance call they had received. Little did he know his life would forever change, and soon enough, he would be placed in a medically induced coma. Viewers kept messaging and wondering what his status was and how he was doing after that fateful night. They had seen what he went through and wanted to ensure he would be okay.
It looked like he would be on the up and up, but then he needed a “high-risk tracheal resection surgery,” per his GoFundMe. This all happened after he came out of his coma, and it was all too much for the family. The goal was to raise $15K but they have only raised a little over $10K. However, things have shifted even more now, as finding a place to do this procedure is equally as difficult. Fans have cited that it is not only finding the hospital, but also the financials.
The Knox County, Tennessee Deputy has so many people behind him who only want the best for him. As of now, the entire On Patrol: Live community is waiting for some positive news regarding him. Unfortunately, that has not happened and likely won’t for some time:
- My understanding is the problem is finding a place that is capable of doing the level of surgery he needs at this point. Then the complication of getting him there and being able to afford it all of course.
This Is A Nightmare
On Patrol: Live fans feel bad because they just want some good news regarding Deputy Swanger. After he was released from the hospital, it appeared everything was looking up. Sadly, that was not the case, and money plus the right hospital have become a bit of an issue. It has broken so many hearts that no one knew how severe this would be:
- Crazy that we witnessed someone’s life so irrevocably changed 🙁
- Really is, it seemed so minor at the time as well. Just an instant and life changed entirely.
Hopefully, a solution will be found sooner rather than later, and some good news can come from this tragedy. Did you remember the Deputy Swanger incident, and did you know it was still so bad? Let us know and watch On Patrol: Live Friday and Saturday on Reelz.
