If someone is intubated, it’s standard procedure that they’re heavily sedated. Otherwise you feel something stuck in your throat and your reflex is to gag and cough and try to rip it out.

It’s more than that, with the permission of the family. Being a marketing rep or agent or friend does not authorize you to release medical information.

Yes. Pulse is good. Pulse is way better than no pulse.

You are not wrong. The question with Kevin Everett was, would he walk again The question with Damar Hamlin is will he live, will he breathe on his own again

Can you blame them? Their brother was getting ambu-bagged and defibrullated

I will say the Bengals fans looked highly classy. Looked like they were standing and applauding as the Bills players jogged off the field, the way it was done seemed like it was recognizing them and wishing them well.

Agree. Booger has gotten it from the first where that lady wanted to talk about refocusing

If he can’t breathe on his own, he needs to be intubated and on a respirator, which means his condition needs a critical status. I have been there at a loved one’s side, respiratory arrest, tube down her throat, on a ventilator. The next afternoon she was extubated and breathing on her own. Pray for a like outcome for Damar Hamlin

I put this elsewhere. The brain stem is what controls heartbeat and respiration. Injury to the brain stem can cause cardiac and respiratory arrest. Injury to the cerebellum, just above it, can cause loss of balance/inability to stand/walk. I have a friend, a hard going amateur cyclist, who had a cerebellur stroke. He’s fine now, but it was scary.

I hope those 574 replies have at least 573 telling him that when he wakes up, he’ll still be a classless douche

This isn’t something where we’re likely to hear one way or the other in a few minutes.

Even if they do want to go back out and play, how can they not be playing with a divided heart and mind thinking about their teammate And when your attention is divided, further injuries will occur

And Erickson is back playing professional soccer, so let’s hope for the best

Mother Julian of Norwich: “All shall be well and all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well” She lived through the Black Death I’m chanting this as a mantra “All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well”

The heart and breathing are both controlled by the same area in the neck, the brain stem. The cerebellum, just above it, controls balance. So given that his neck snapped back on the tackle, that he initially stood up, and then collapsed, it sounds pretty likely he sustained an injury to that area and they were able to get the heart restarted but not his respiration. In other words, both related to trauma to that area, but that’s where I go “full stop” with any speculation. I’m with the other people who say I would have no problem at all with the Bills taking the “L” and just focusing on praying for their brother.

Pulse is good

My soccer pal friend just texted me this: “I’m going to try to take a hopeful take. Denmark national soccer player Christian Eriksen collapsed and coded on a soccer field a year or so ago. Was successfully brought back with CPR and an AED. Playing professional soccer again. Hoping for the same outcome. “

We don’t know

Everett didn’t have CPR done on him for 9 minutes or whatever it was.

I just think of Damar Hamlin with kind of a “playa” grin striding into the Pittsburgh game wearing a jacket that said “Love Me B4 They All Do”

I think that’s basically what McDermott told the refs: that we are not going to play until we know the status of our brother.

That’s …. A scary thought

OK, so what's Joe Buscaglia's prediction record for the Bills this year?

Thank you! And yes, that makes sense and you're right. Same skin tone, same beard style, but a much higher comfort level with someone who looks like #9 photo in front of our QB

It's a pretty cool study, actually, but I have questions - starting with, how realistic and under what circumstances is an actual drop of 5 degrees C at the point where they were sampling the cells? It's kind of analogous to all those people paying extra money for "alkaline water" when your stomach is very acid and has a bunch of cells lining it whose job in life is to keep it that way. Your nasal passages are lined with blood vessels whose job in life is to keep the air going into your lungs nice and warm. For that reason, I put a little more weight in the studies of actual people where they got them wet, cold, etc. I wouldn't change what you preach, just yet.
