I was going to say I didn't think they let you ride in back. But then remembered Mom rode upfront when I went as a kid but I did ride with my baby. He was fairly stable though so I imagine that played in.

Just saw the video. That was one of the scariest things I've ever seen. It looked like he dropped dead on the field.
Understand about that. Why we don’t like people in the back is they many times start asking questions, trying to talk to the patient, getting in the way (there is very little room back there and things are stored in certain spots so we position ourselves to have quick access), they can start freaking out when we have to tube them or if wr have to stop the ambulance if the AED needs to shock. Things like that. It’s not that we are trying to be mean, but more times than not, it makes our job much more difficult.
SVP and Ryan Clark specifically are excellent right now.
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.
I get that. You are working hard to stabilize the person and/or bring them back to life. Have a lot of respect for people that do that job. Especially because I know they don’t pay their employees their true worth. However, if that’s my son try keeping me out.
Babies are the one time we actually want a parent along for the ride.
Doctor explaining what he thinks happened.
They probably also had to consult the NFLPA I bet.
If all they did "wrong" is let some people on the field think they were going to play for a few minutes before sending them to the locker room, then their "mistakes" weren't that terrible.
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.
Oh I don't think it will be tons of players but I wouldn't be surprised if there are a couple players that do.
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 was administered CPR and AED, so one could say he was "dead." Praying the immediate medical attention was enough to bring him back, and he'll recover.
Glad i have my CPR certification but i hope i never have to use it.
I am talking torn vesicle not cc. Cc is more like an electromechanical disruption rather than compromised vesicle.
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.
