Teen Injured By Suicidal Jumper Heads Back To Hospital

2009_04_mun.jpg Derrik Munoz, who suffered a head injury when a suicidal woman fell on him earlier this week, has returned to the hospital, according to NY1. Munoz had been sitting in a massage chair at the Queens Center mall when a woman jumped over the third-floor railing; he needed 23 staples to close his wounds. Munoz spoke to NY1 yesterday from his home: He didn't remember a thing, gave condolences to the woman's family and even expected to be in school on Monday. Now the station says he "is being examined by doctors after his head wounds reopened and he began vomiting."

I hope the kid is ok. I seriously don't trust hospitals on Long Island.

Vomiting is indicative of brain injury. I hope he is OK.
