Thanks, I'm not a doctor either but the ER doc I work with thought it at least appeared to be a classic example of CC with the way it went down.  Certainly we don't know the cause yet, but I have trouble agreeing with your docs that CC recurrence would be an extremely low probability for a professional football player.  If they don't have a way to prevent recurrence,  I'd say end of career.

Chris Pronger had this happen to him and he played 13 more seasons of NHL hockey.

Just wanted to stop in and share my best wishes - on behalf of myself and The Bengals Board - for Damar and his family. My heart goes out to them...as well as his coaches, teammates and Bills fans eve

Everyone is at risk for commotio cordis and it's not something that you can really manage. It's an exceptionally rare combination of being hit with enough force in the exact right spot at the exact right millisecond. If that does end up being the final diagnosis I see no reason why he couldn't return to the NFL. 

 

Chris Pronger suffered from commotio cordis in '98 after being hit in the chest with a puck and played in the NHL another 10+ seasons.

Thanks, I appreciate the perspective and info.  My mistake is looking at it as a individual/genetic susceptibility which I will correct and certainly it makes much more sense he can return.

To be 100% clear, I'm not a doctor.  I'm just going on what I've been by doctors elsewhere.  The way it was explained to me is that commotio cordis is a freak injury that has no realistic chance or reoccurrence.  Or more technically, Hamlin's chance of suffering such an injury in the future would be no worse than any other player's 

 

However, none of those doctors are even remotely convinced that this was commotio cordis.  Apparently it's impossible for anyone to have reached such a diagnosis at this point.  An undiagnosed heart ailment is possible.  A respiratory infection is possible (I don't get it either).  We don't know right now.

Exactly.  They will run a bunch of tests to rule out potential underlying causes, probably starting with an echocardiogram ASAP.  If they can't find anything and they come to a determination that it was most likely caused by the hit itself (commotio cordis), then I'd say there's a decent chance that Damar Hamlin is back on the field for training camp, assuming he hasn't suffered any longterm organ damage (for instance, his lungs).

So, I just rounded the numbers here.

 

Get to your calculator and divide 7.8 million by 234k.

 

It may give you chills.

If nothing else, after having a breathing tube shoved down his throat for 3 1/2 days, he has the Granddaddy of All Sore Throats

I was in a medically induced coma for five days. When they woke me up, I still had the breathing tube in. I also had to use pencil and paper to communicate. But once they pulled that tube out, yeah it sucked. I ate all the vanilla ice cream they could give me.

I love all the positive Damar news. Every time I heard Terry Pegula during McDermott and Beane press conferences I thought about Kim. It’s always been Terry and Kim whenever Beane mentioned ownership. He only said Terry today. Stuck out to me.

Hopefully it was because Terry was in Cincy with the team at the time and he may have stayed back with Beane.

This is correct, though i'm certain and ECHO was done that night.  It would have been standard to get an ECHO right away.

One of you guys or gals who do twitter should post the image along with that calculation.

That is pretty incredible.

Damn man! I wasn’t even going that far. I’m still confused by “what happens if the Bills lose Sunday?”
