Damar Hamlin

[NOCajun]

Latest report I've heard is that Damar Hamlin is neurologically intact. To me, that means he's awake and has been neurological tested and found to be functionally normal.
CajunsHat, correct me if I'm wrong. I served as an active-duty hospital corpsman in the Navy and spent a year as a critical care assistant in the icu at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego, Ca.

"lungs continue to heal" no wonder we can't get a concensus, I thought this was about his heart.

Lack of oxygen for an extended period damages lungs too, dude..

I think the way the strategy goes is that until you see the data, you have to assume it’s energy drinks.

Joking, but also not joking.

I had a cardiac arrythmia and first thing the ER doc asked when they realized I was telling the truth that I wasn't doing drugs (from lab results) was if I drank energy drinks. Yea, with vodka.

"Are you stupid? Don't do that."

Truth is, there's so many variables in play in the modern world who knows. My grandfather also had an arrythmia, so could be genetic. Energy drinks could have contributed. A random virus could have caused it (pre-COVID).

I have friends that have been taking legal meth (adderall) for years, I'm sure that isn't good for cardiac health in the long run either.

Hat tip to you, Sir. And thanks to CajunsHat for the information yesterday.

Lungs were never the big concern dude. For the lungs to be the lead healing story is like breaking news saying something is anticipated to begin no earlier than.

As someone with a 3 year old and a 6 month old baby let’s hope this is not the case bc I drink those things like water lol

I would assume blood flooded the lungs during CPR on the field. Definitely an area of major concern.

I'm not about to argue a common sense topic with someone looking for an angle. You're a dip____ if you didn't know he likely had lung damage after the event and the subsequent CPR. It's the furthest thing from breaking news.

Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has shown what physicians treating him are calling “remarkable improvement over the past 24 hours,” the team announced Thursday, three days after the player went into cardiac arrest and had to be resuscitated on the field.
