Buffalo Bills Damar Hamlin

If it is commotio cardis or whatever then it's a one in a million sort of thing. I doubt too many are going to hang it up because of that. I mean, just about everyone knows someone who died in a car accident. It doesn't stop most of us from driving on a daily basis.

No but it might make you do something different in how you drive because of what happened to that person.

Perhaps they take a look at the chest padding or something.
 
On that note someone mentioned earlier that it's good to be a big city with a Level 1 Trauma Center (or whatever the facility that is treating him is classified as) and it got me wondering and thinking about how it might be good this didn't happen in Green Bay; I honestly don't know if GB being a smaller city would have that kind of facility.

Little bit of family history here that informs my thinking; my father had his 2nd heart attack back in February of 2021 and had to be airlifted down to Grand Junction, Colorado, population of around 65-70 K or so, because they were the closest city that had the kind of resources needed. These kinds of facilities aren't common in smaller towns and cities. Just a random thought on my part.
Iowa has 2 level 1s.

It could be normal. Won’t know until take him off sedation. There are people who are neuro cognitively normal after arrest and ROSC.
He could end up living a normal life as in you and i but I’d be shocked if he ever plays another snap or is able to perform near his typically athletic abilities for his own safety, not that he literally would never be able to do so again
 
Ryan Clark's story is scary enough. He is speaking with personal experience.

Wiki,..."During a 2007 game against the Denver Broncos at Invesco Field at Mile High, Clark developed severe pain in his left side and had to be rushed to the hospital. It turned out that Clark had suffered a splenic infarction due to the sickle cell trait from which he has suffered since he was a child; these are usually a risk at high altitudes. Clark had to have his spleen and gall bladder removed, ending his season. He lost 30 pounds after the removal, but returned to the Steelers in 2008. Although Clark was medically cleared to play in Denver's thin air without any complications, the Steelers took the precautionary measure of deactivating him for the four games played in Denver thereafter during Clark's career with the team—a 2009 Monday Night game, a 2010 preseason game, a 2011 playoff game and the 2012 season opener."
 
I have a problem with keeping his teammates and close friends - who were literally on their knees in tears on live tv - in the locker room during a temp suspension.
Nothing matters at that point. Call me gross.
I think they went and were changing. They said Diggs came out in a towel before they called it.

GB has two level 2s. Only level 1s are one each in Madison and Milwaukee.

Ok that’s better to hear. Maybe y’all are right and I should wait for the full details. But on the surface to me it was just a poor look to go from literal life or death to “temporary suspension”….like wut.

Might be different conditions but Christian Erikson collapsed during a cardiac issue, had no pulse, was administered CPR and is now a starting midfielder for Man United. Hopefully Hamlin can have a similar outcome.

I've gotta imagine that the NFL requires that for games to be played there. Those type of details are almost assuredly worked out ahead of time and all situations like this are planned out. While this is tragic and uncommon, a player collapsing from a heart attack during a game has been brought up as a possibility forever. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this was practiced by the training staff on a regular basis.
 
Wow that’s a lot of land and people for only 2 level 1 facilities.
For the NE corner, Mayo is sitting closer than anything else. We are(I guess were since I no longer run) to get the bird going before we even hit the site if reports are leaning to needing it. They said they would rather turn around than be late.
