The 2022-2023 NFL season.

If Christian Eriksen is any example we have a great chance Hamlin will recover and be back on the field soon. For reference, Christian Eriksen is a worldclass danish soccer player who suffered from cardiac arrest on the field and was "gone for a few minutes" and he made a full recovery and is back playing full time.

 

Same thing happened to Chris Pronger in the NHL.. took a puck to the chest and started skating away and down he goes. He made a full recovery as well.

 

Shit has hit the fan around here with what parents expect out of coaches and the schools today. A bunch of moms blasted out emails and calls to the ADs.
“Why aren’t the coaches trained in CPR?
Um, they are.
“Well, why are there not heart defibrillators on the sidelines during games?
Um, there are. Along with people trained with them. The coaches, the athletic trainers, the AD. . .
Now pissed ladies: well why isn’t there a licensed doctor on site during games.
Well, in the case of girls lacrosse there are two, both volunteers.
Well, we need an ambulance on site during games!!!
Well, during football and some other sports, there is one on site along with the fire station 2 miles away and a second fire station with ambulance service 6 miles away also available.

Waiting now for the next series from this “committee.”

 

Yeah I don't think anyone including the medical staff expected that once they got to him

 

I think I misinterpreted foo's post. Christ is a hospital in Cleveland?

 

That was my guess. The alternative seemed beyond our current transportation capabilities.

 

Sorry! No, both are hospitals in Cincinnati. I had been tailgating for 8 hours when that post was made...

 

Yeah, but it is a common expression for death.

 

which is what I originally thought he meant, but realized it was a hospital

 

Christ is in Cincinnati, in fact I was just there this morning. as far as Trauma UC is by far the best in Greater Cincinnati but overall Christ is a great hospital. In fact based on reputation Christ where I chose to work with for my kidney Transplant and most of my aftercare. I wouldn't step foot in UC unless I had to and in this case it would have been my first choice.

 

Seems like hospitals good at trauma suck at everything else and vice versa. 2021 when I got runover on the interstate they took me to Erie County Medical Center. They quickly got me through CT scans, MRI and X rays, and made sure from a trauma standpoint I was good. After that the rest of the care sucked. They sent me home 8 hours later with all the blood dried onto my face still there and when I asked about all the gravel in all the road rash I had the response was go home and take a shower! My daughter ended up coming over and cleaning it all out for me…

 

Kinda like an endurance race.... the repair doesn't have to look pretty, it just needs to be good enough to get you back in the race.

NFL teams are required to have an emergency action plan for situations in which players undergo severe trauma. Here's what to know.
