He English bodybuilder Dante McNulty acknowledged that Amazon’s virtual assistant, Alexa, “saved his life,” after he was unconscious at home without being able to walk and thanks to his device he was able to alert about the situation.
The bodybuilder fell from a ladder at home and was knocked unconscious. When he woke up, according to The Sun, the veins in his legs had burst and he could not move them.
The option that occurred to him was contacting his cell phone, in which he has linked to the virtual assistant Alexa, to which he instructed to call one of his friends, who later called the emergency room.
“I felt paralyzed. I yelled at my Amazon Echo, which is linked to my phone, to call one of my friends. Thank God, my wifi worked ”, the Englishman told the aforementioned medium.
McNulty was reportedly unconscious for about six hours in a position leaning on his knees, which led to acute compartment syndrome. The bodybuilder was operated urgently. As detailed, his legs were opened and muscles were cut, separating them from the bone, to facilitate the movement of blood flow. “They wanted me to sign a disclaimer saying they had my permission to amputate my legs if necessary,” explains the Englishman.
“My Amazon Echo saved my life, although I have to give some credit to my friend and the surgeons,” he now jokes, after a month of treatments to try to improve the condition of his legs and avoid amputation.
