http://www.cbs.sportsline.com/nba/story ... quote]Five days after Hill underwent a major surgical procedure in March 2003, in which doctors re-fractured his ankle and realigned it with his leg bone, he developed a 104.5-degree fever and convulsions.
His wife, Tamia, rushed him to the hospital.
"When we both saw the reaction of the people at the hospital, we knew there was something wrong," Hill said.
Doctors removed the splint around his ankle and discovered the incision was infected. Hill had developed red and black welts on his leg, and the shaking and convulsions progressed to the point where orderlies had to hold him down.

One of the true class acts in the NBA, great to see him playing so well again (nevermind that I am a magic fan) but this is some nutso stuff he went thru. I would love to see him stay healthy and really put up the kinda numbers he is so far all season, and him stevie franchise and Dwight Howard are turnin out to be a helluva trio
