Buffalo Bills Damar Hamlin

Hope the guy recovers. It is such a rare occurrence I think that it was handled ok. Lots of people on the internet that have hot takes that never make a bigger decision than which sweats to put on in the morning.

I'm guessing the young man will be surprised what his toy drive did while this happened from the 1 clip posted, I'm guessing he will be grateful for that. I hope he has a good recovery.

I remember when Hank Gathers played for Loyola Marymount. Guy was built like a tank just collapsed running down the court.

Quite a few years ago at the end of the KSU ISU football game we saw a rather large guy in a truck passenger seat after the guy driving had pulled over on the corner of South 4th and Beach. Cops on bikes showed up and did a carotid artery check for a pulse. No pulse, so they cut his seat belt and rolled him out of the truck. Started CPR and had AED on him. Ambulance showed up and they had taken his shirt and he was purple. Gal walked by us and we started chatting. She was a cardio nurse and she just goes, “he’s gone”. Scary for little kids to see this going on.

I have PVC, premature ventricular contractions, which I guess is not uncommon. It really does scare you though. Not really anything you can do for it though. It’s like you get two really quick beats then a pause before it beats normal.

BTW Skip Bayless is a horrible human for what he put out on social media
 
I’ve got a relative that works for Owatonna fire and a couple more that work for the Owatonna hospital. The most interesting thing I’ve heard about the Mayo choppers is that they won’t go out if conditions suck. They call the wild ex military pilots from Faribolt to do it instead.
This is correct. The pilots are given no information about the scene besides location and are only able to use their knowledge of weather conditions to make a call on whether to fly....which is exactly how it should be so something like Mercy had several years back never happens again. Worse than 1 person's passing is a flight crew's passing because of something completely preventable.

I believe all of Mayo's pilots are all ex-military and most have a background in healthcare to try and be as helpful as they can be once on the ground. They have a goal of something like a max of 5 minutes on the ground including stabilizing the patient if it hasn't already been done.

I think Mayo has a handful of choppers and an airplane. The choppers go in a couple hundred mile radiuses of Rochester, Eau Claire, and Mankato I believe and the plane is mostly used to transfer patients between campuses in Jacksonville, Rochester, and Phoenix.
 
Saw an explanation of Commotio Cordis and they explained the heart rhythm and the fraction of millisecond in that cycle where CC is even possible. It has to be an impact of certain severity at just the right time in just the right location. VERY rare and unfortunate occurrence.

I witnessed a buddy of mine in a low level high school baseball game suffer Cc. Hit by a pitch when squared to bunt so it got him in the chest. Made it at least half way to first before he collapsed. Needed AED and took awhile to recover. He couldn't see anything for at least a day after coming to. He made a good recovery. Shows how fragile life can be.
 


Agree with the stuff people are saying to her tweet. ESPN handled this as well as network possibly could given the circumstances.


Agree....bad take and the comments let her have it. I honestly am not going to listen today as I don't want to hear her backpedaling and hindsight....and it's Tuesday, so don't need 5-0s takes, lol.

As many have said, I thought all involved in the broadcast did excellent on the fly in a horrible situation with limited information. Had they cut to a re-run of a 30 for 30 or something I think would have felt weirder and the Twitter theories would have been off the rails.
