Orthodontist and Travel Content Creator, Dr. Cara Hodgson, recounts a harrowing tale of survival after a freak accident leaves her electrocuted and fighting for life, as shared on Instagram.
Los Angeles travel influencer Dr. Cara Hodgson opens up on Instagram about a “life-threatening” encounter during her recent Thailand trip, detailing a shocking electrocution incident that left her fighting for survival. Reflecting on the fragility of life, the 33-year-old emphasizes gratitude for being here in 2024 after a near-tragic twist of fate.
Hodgson revealed she faced a freak accident during her trip, getting electrocuted by power lines. This led to her blacking out and being urgently taken to the ER in Thailand. Describing it as the worst 10 days of her life, she shared the struggle of going in and out of hospitals, fighting to regain her strength.
“Feeling incredibly fortunate to be here today. Gratitude to everyone who reached out with phone calls, messages, flowers, breakfast deliveries, and more. Your unwavering support and love, expressed through texts and cards, made a profound impact. Even when I was too weak to respond, each message played a crucial role in keeping me resilient during moments of despair,” she expressed.
One user sympathized, saying, “I’m sorry you’ve been through that. Sending love and prayers for a full recovery.” Another, moved by the story, shared, “Reading this made me tear up as I lost my mom last year. Really glad you’re still here. Your posts and messages are always enjoyed. Let’s remember that life and health are precious, not to sweat the small stuff, and to let our loved ones know we care. Wishing you the very best for a complete recovery.”
