Damar Hamlin at game Sunday

[jshouse]

Funny , he was way wrong.
Every Dr said it was commotio cordis.

Cleared to play again too.

link? i never saw anyone come out and say what caused it. edit: link from a doctor that actually treated him, not someone speculating.

they should have just asked hamlin what he was told caused it during one of his interviews...oh wait

I can see how he got it wrong. In Hamlin's instance, all the data we have so far is not supportive of CC, as Drew points out. Which he also makes the point, why not release the info, so other Dr's can see all the information themselves in their own practice. I can understand where he is coming from.

Clearly Dr. Drew was wrong. It will be very interesting to see if Hamlin comes back to the NFL. I know I wouldn't allow him to play after something like that. Maybe a coach. But no more contact. But that is just me, and luckily for Hamlin, I am not the Bills owner. Who, coincidentally, had cardiac arrest as well, and still has not recovered.

You mean like asking vax status for getting on a plane, eating at McDonalds or keeping your job?

well here we go... good to know the cause was decided so now we an learn more about it and hopefully how (try) to prevent it...

"The diagnosis of what happened to me was basically commotio cordis. It’s a direct blow at a specific point in your heartbeat that causes cardiac arrest," Hamlin added. "And five to seven seconds later, you fall out. … Commotio cordis is the leading cause of death in youth athletes across all sports. So, that's something that I personally will be taking a step in to make a change. Also, with that being said, all of the awareness around CPR and access to AEDs have been lowering that number as well."

I think he’s nuts to go back on the field. I sure wouldn’t. I’d rather live than trifle with another event.

That’s one hell of a stunt double they found him.
