Travis Barker Is Out Of The Hospital

Travis Barker has been released from the Doctors Hospital in Augusta, GA and is on his way back to Los Angeles. His rep issued this statement to People: "Travis is doing great and was discharged this morning. He has left Augusta."

Travis and DJ AM were both admitted into the Joseph M. Still Burn Center nine days ago after a plane crash in South Carolina took the lives of 4 people. Travis suffered second and third degree burns to his torso and lower body.

DJ AM was released from the hospital this past Friday.

Totally missed this thread; at any rate People has a pic of DJ AM and he doesn't look bad at all... minimal facial burns from what I can see.

I'm glad someone else said what I was thinking. I thought I was just being mean. I can't blame them for the drama since they were both in the hospital. But the picture of a "concerned and tearful" Shanna made me want to barf.

I feel bad for those that lost their lives and their families.
**************************************************

Amen. And Shanna is the attention whore of all attention whores, so she was probably just eating the whole thing up, while a woman who had just given birth THAT day lost her husband. Total shitbags, every single one of those people who used this tragedy to their own advantage.

@Karen

I think their injuries were overexaggerated too, but it'll come out in the long run.
****************************

Yeah but people did DIE in that crash. Obviously, they weren't in the hospital very long at all but it's pretty safe to assume they can access a LOT of resources at home.
***********************************************

They were definitely exaggerated, and I don't believe it was by them-- it was either by the media because the story wasn't "big" enough without it, or by their reps to get them "good" publicity, or a little of both. My point is exactly that, though, angel-- people DID die in the crash and this bullshit we were obviously fed just cheapens that, which IMO is absolutely unforgivable.

It never ceases to amaze me how depraved and horrible people can be when it works to their own benefit.

This was, for all intensive purposes, similar because the plane hadn't taken off, right? It was a runway crash.

I know in auto accidents, some people can perish, while others walk away with little more than bumps and bruises.

It's funny how those things work. They should consider themselves VERY lucky, even if with injuries.

They did say DJ AM was put in an induced coma. Then released so soon? I'm not buying it, but maybe there's something I don't know.

At any rate, they aren't to blame. They were laying in a hospital and I'm sure the emotional scars will last far longer.

Just because he is out of the burn hospital, doesn't mean he isn't going to be further treated at a hospital in L.A.

I think these reports can be a bit misleading.

Burns take months, if not years, of treatment
************************************************

ITA. IF they were burned as badly as was first reported, they would never be able to be moved so quickly, not even for further treatment at another hospital, not by any responsible Doctor, anyway.

In case anyone wonders, why do I feel such anger that the media felt the need to exaggerate their injuries? Because they thought we'd only care if someone famous was hurt in the process, as if those lowly un-famous people on the plane weren't worth our sympathy, right? I am not saying that they weren't injured, they obviously were. Just not injured enough to sate the appetites of some disgusting media sloths, apparently.

You know, I really AM glad that both Travis and DJ AM are okay. Having said that, if I were a family member of one of the people who were actually killed in that crash, I would be pretty pissed at the way the media exaggerated their injuries for play.

When the crash was first reported, we were led to believe DJ AM practically had no face left and was on death's door, and Travis wasn't far behind. Now they are home after less than 2 weeks? Even minor burn victims usually stay much longer than that, so somebody really exploited a tragedy for headlines. And that fucking SUCKS.

BTW: What are the odds that the two most famous people on the plane are the ones to survive? Or weren't they the only survivors?

He can afford treatment closer to home. Maybe he'll rethink his priorities. Life is short.

I wonder if he's flying back to LA and if they had to knock him out for it. I imagine since he didn't want to get into the copter to fly to the ER, and they had to knock him out, he probably has anxiety about flying again. I would.

M.E.'s picture

I agree with Mopa, he will most likely be receiving treament in LA.

I've already said speedy recovery and all that soo

If Shanna stays by his side and helps him through this recovery, I hope they see they were meant to be and stop with the petty bullshit. That would be great for their kids.

Sandbitch's picture

I wonder why his ex bitch was crying all over the hospital the other day? Maybe she found out that he doesn't have any insurance and she wont be getting any child support for a while.

I want to see the fucked up tattoos. I also want to know what row they were sitting in on da plane.

Travis & AM-I am sorry for the loss of your friends. I am also sorry for all the physical pain you must both be going through. I wish you both a safe recovery.

This is nice, but is it really in his best interests to be released so early if he's that badly injured? Seems to me he's asking for infections

esp. if Paris is planning to pay him a visit....
