I hope that the money that's coming in is managed well and a large charitable organization is born out of it helping thousands of underprivileged kids. That's the legacy Hamlin deserves no matter how long he lives. 2 Quote

Actually there is a dedicated trauma team for the NFL. What would they be doing except watching the game. Quote

And that’s all outside the roster churn of playing together or getting together for fun in the off-season Quote
North Buffalo Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 While talking to docs in ER where I worked last night they too agreed it was a heart electrical issue brought on by timing of the hit to the chest... from one doc "this is a known risk with all contact sports". But I wanted to clarify... a vascular injury such an aortic dissection ( where the lining on the inside of aorta pulls away from the aortic wall) or an Aneurysm ( a weakening in the aortic wall) probably would have burst and Hamlin would no longer be with us... Coronary blockages can cleaned out result heart attacks if not addressed.. Coronary arteries supply oxygenated blood to heart muscle... There are two nodes alongside the heart that control the contractions of the heart and when they get shocked it messes the rhythm up which is likely what happened to Damar... Older folks such as my Dad suffers from AFib and atrial flutter both signaling issues due to age... he has a pacemaker now and an aed built into it to keep his heart in rhythm. Quote
Dr.Mantis_Toboggan Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 I agree with the sentiment that last night probably changed most people in some way, especially in terms of what winning or losing really means to them/us as fans. I care more about this team, this particular group of guys who have represented the Buffalo Bills and everything that means, in a way no other has before them, than I do about winning homefield advantage or a Super Bowl… Keep fighting Damar. 1 Quote
Special K Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Was thinking about any comparisons in sports to what happened yesterday, and one of the first ones I came up with was the death of Dale Earnhardt Sr. at the Daytona 500. I then realized that Earnhardt’s car number and Hamlin’s jersey number were both 3....freaky coincidence. 1 Quote

Some respond better to other measures. My response was for the poster you were replying to, who seemed to be asking if he should have a vascular repair intervention. Quote

The Wiz Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Between Dan Orlovsky saying a prayer on live TV and Sal C. on WGR talking about how Damar's mother was asking to see her son from the stands while he was on the sideline, this is absolutely breaking me. 2 Quote

BuffaloBaumer Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 It's amazing how little I care about the rest of the season. If the Bills turned around and said our season is over, I would not care one bit. It's gonna be really tough to watch this team play football again. 9 Quote
