Kim Joo Sung was an incredible South Korean soccer player in the 80s and 90s. He won three Asian footballer of the year awards. During his farewell match the entire stadium in Korea proceeded to sing this song for him throughout the match:

Like A Comet
Blazing 'Cross The Evening Sky
Kim Joo Sung

Like A Rainbow
Fading In The Twinkling Of An Eye
Kim Joo Sung

Shiny And Sparkly
And Splendidly Bright
Here One Day
Gone One Night

Like The Loss Of Sunlight
On A Cloudy Afternoon
Kim Joo Sung

Like A Castle
Built Upon A Sandy Beach
Kim Joo Sung

Like A Perfect Flower
That Is Just Beyond Your Reach
Kim Joo Sung

Born To Amuse, To Inspire, To Delight
Here One Day
Gone One Night

Like A Sunset
Dying With The Rising Of The Moon
Kim Joo Sung

Stacey was a nurse so Kurt knew she would be able to give him a pretty good idea of how critical it was.

It might have even rotated and perhaps nerve fibers were stretched and veins and arteries might have torn too. The second one is an open wound where the skull broke. The brain is exposed in that area. He was probably hit by some kind of sharp object during the collision.” Stacey unsuccessfully tried to disguise a horrifying yelp that she let out. “It's possible the area around the wound is undamaged. He might be facing long-term disabilities. He’s lost a lot of blood and his blood pressure has really dropped from the trauma. He’s really weakened by the blood loss.
