ROSS COUNTY, Ohio — Local Ross County Firefighter and EMT Johnathan Detty-Fyffe finds himself in the midst of a medical ordeal as his left lung has unexpectedly collapsed.
Detty-Fyffe’s predicament unfolded when he awoke feeling breathless, eventually seeking medical attention after local paramedic Rafe Britton noted zero lung sounds on his left side. Confirmatory chest X-rays revealed the severity of the collapse, prompting an immediate response. A chest tube was inserted and maintained overnight, with surgery to address the underlying issues at a local hospital.
Projected recovery extends for several days, marking a challenging period for Detty-Fyffe, known for his dedicated service to the community by running with multiple townships, including Scioto, Harrison, and Huntington. In response, a surge of support from friends and well-wishers emphasizes the urgency of financial contributions to alleviate the burden of mounting medical expenses through a GoFundMe.
