We brought him back to his home in Tulum, hoping some rest would turn things around. It didn&rsquo;t. Within hours, Corey was in excruciating pain.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;A house doctor came in to administer IV fluids and morphine treatments. Corey was incredibly hesitant to take heavy pain meds, especially after losing his brother Adam to an overdose just last year, but the agony left him with no other option. The next day, his oxygen levels plummeted to dangerously low levels.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;In a heartbreaking moment that shook all of us to our core, Corey looked at us and said, &lsquo;I&rsquo;m just going to die out here. I don&rsquo;t have the money to keep paying these people.&rsquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We knew we couldn&rsquo;t let that happen.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Harrison has apparently emptied his bank accounts to keep these critical treatments going. His friends, including Chambers, have also maxed out credit cards.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the popularity of the show, Harrison&rsquo;s story has actually engendered quite a bit of backlash, at least on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Critics have claimed that Harrison should have ample funding to pay for his own medical bills, given his status as a television star, instead of trying to raise $18,000 on GoFundMe.<\/p>\n<p>Harrison caught wind of some of that blowback, and responded on X.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Ok, I&rsquo;m getting some really nasty comments on the TMZ website from people who don&rsquo;t know me or the money I&rsquo;ve donated to the Children&rsquo;s Hospital over the years.

The fundraiser says he suffered major injuries\u201411 broken ribs, a punctured lung, a concussion, and internal bleeding\u2014and spent about two weeks in a Playa del Carmen hospital before being brought back to his home in Tulum for rest. Conditions worsened, with doctors administering IV fluids and morphine as he struggled with pain; he reportedly hesitated to take strong pain meds after losing his brother to an overdose. To keep up the treatment, Harrison has reportedly emptied his bank accounts, and his friends have maxed out credit cards. Despite the show\u2019s popularity, some on social media criticized that a television star should be able to cover his own medical bills, rather than raising money publicly.<\/p>\n<p>Harrison responded on social media, noting he\u2019s donated to the Children\u2019s Hospital in the past and would donate any future proceeds back to the hospital once he\u2019s back on his feet, asking supporters not to attack him while he\u2019s down. The GoFundMe page also mentions significant life events, such as his father Rick Harrison\u2019s wedding in Cancun, and underscores the financial strain of medical costs in Mexico.
