René Mioch, the film expert from Shownieuws, was taken away by ambulance from the Freezlab. There he sat in a freezer cabin of -114 degrees. “I was taken to the OLVG.”
It was a horrible weekend for René Mioch: on Sunday he took a seat in one of the freezer cabins of the Freezlab in the capital, and he came out very badly. So bad that the staff decided to call an ambulance, after which the film connoisseur was fully examined at the OLVG. He told me about it last night Show news.
-114 degrees
Presenter Airen Mylene is happy that René is still alive. “I’m glad to see you here, because you’ve had a rough week.”
René then: “Yes, that’s right. Look, if you want to look as good as these men here and you at the table, then sometimes you have to do something for that. Last Sunday I stood in a freezer cabin and that is very good for your blood circulation and gives you energy. -114 degrees. Actually, I don’t know anything about it anymore.”
Lost memory
What does René mean by that? “My memory is gone on the spot and the whole of Sunday is gone from my memory, so I haven’t recorded anything in my head for seven hours.”
Colleague Evert Santegoeds: “You go into that cabin and you have lost your memory?”
René: “Yes, I don’t even remember that I drove there and stuff like that. In the evening everything came back again. I’ve asked my family the same question about 25 times: “How do I get here?” And then they said: ‘With the ambulance.’”
Fainted
Did René faint there? “I sat there, I sat there for a long time, so the people who work there came to ask: ‘Is everything going well?’ And I didn’t really know anything. They actually noticed that I had no memories or anything at all. Then they called for an ambulance.”
He continues: “I was then taken to the OLVG and went through a brain scan and everything. They discovered very quickly… Your memory is apparently a kind of chest of drawers and because of the extreme cold, nothing has been recorded in your memory from that moment on.”
‘Don’t do that again!’
René has been in that freezer cabin about ten times before. “That’s not what you should do. In any case, I won’t do it again.”
He concludes: “The small print states that things can happen, but there is clearly a risk and that has now become clear to me.”
