They should be in every first aid room in every public facility. Hell' we were taught how to use them in the oil patch when we had to get a first aid ticket. Every first aid trained person knows or should know what to do.

Yep the wife was trained on how to use one in her CPR certification.

Allegedly no siren as the ambulance pulled up to the hospital.


That's not good if true.

Ugh

No Bueno.

I mean, that's better than what I initially assumed, which was that he was dead

The NFL didn’t want to admit it but they 100% agree with Skip’s tweet. This is a nightmare situation for them but that’s what they’re focused on instead of doing the right thing and cancelling it way earlier than they did.

For the NFL, if he doesn't make it (really even if he does), it's far more trouble than just getting the game in or playoff seedings or even this season.

AED training is easy. Just do what the robot tells you to do. If there is a treatable rhythm, the device will shock.

Thank you for posting this.

Crazy though, shouldn’t be a nightmare for the league at all if they actually care about the players , young man’s life should be number one, shouldn’t even be a thought …

Yep. They are designed that way so anyone could use it in an emergency.

I was wondering what they were waiting for. It seemed obvious when they walked off the field they had no intention of continuing tonight.

All the players on both teams had head down, at the beginning some Bengal players kneeled. They were all in a very sad mood. No way to continue.

Words are not present. All we can do is hope and pray the young man comes out okay.

 

[Upinthe North]

Prayers for Demar's recovery and health and for the Buffalo team who had to witness this tragedy.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

WEll, I honestly am glad they finally called this thing off. Just going to think of Damar Hamlin and hope he pulls through okay. Sports and being a fan not even at the back of my mind right now. You fellas have a good night and go hug your loved ones. Life is precious. I'm off to bed.

That being said, I need to take a recertification course because I'm past due.

from another site:

WGR550 reports DH intubated, in critical condition at UC hospital.

WGR is local news/sports radio. I would expect them to be very reliable.

I hope the kid makes it not just for his and his families sake, but #85 for the Bengals will never forgive himself if he dies. He did nothing wrong but as inadvertent as that tackle was that shit will weigh on him the rest of his life.

You definitely have to cancel the game how on earth do they replay this in the next few days. Give them a point each, move on and use all of your resources on the young man.

Sadly same here! I took it for granted recently since my wife has hers.

 

[Tech_God]

From what I saw, kudos to the Bengals fans showing respect and concern while Hamlin was taken away.

They better, no excuse not too … Like you said they’re not super expensive …

We've had one at work for well over a decade in honor of a former co-worker that passed due to pacemaker related issues (he had just been fitted with one in his 30s). Incident did not happen at work, btw.
