Rich Eisen on Bills Safety Damar Hamlin | The Rich Eisen Show

[@LK-bz9sk]

Rich is a first class act. They way he handled t his in its entirety. I think the entire NFL family which includes all us fans are still shaken. Shaken to the core. Prayers up for Damar 🙏🏿

Thank you for mentioning Tee Higgins’ perspective. Can’t imagine how he feels. Hoping for good news about Damar soon

[@maureen1031]

Yes. Seeing the pic of Tee Higgins walking with his arm around his mom leaving the stadium last night...my thoughts went to him and the hope he will not blame himself in anyway.

[@ShelbyBaby27]

After seeing the Lawrence Taylor documentary and what he experienced after the Joe Theismann hit, it's essential to get Higgins the care he needs...

[@Bughy2236]

I feel like we as fans should let him know we’re with him as well and that no one’s blaming him for this cause it’s definitely not his fault

[@Matthew-McCallister]

Thank God the Bengals stadium is right next to the Cincinnati hospital, it’s the only level 1 trauma center for miles. Praying for him.

[@megatran2556]

I lost 5 Sailors, Pilots, Aircrewmans, Hospital Corpsman in August 2021 out of San Diego. And let me tell you, it took us a month to kind of get back to work rhythm. Me and another guy were one of the last people to talked and helped them get dress before their flight. This stuff can traumatize Tee Higgins for the rest of his career. He's going to need a lot of mental therapy.

Waited for the game yesterday that ended with tragedy. Shows how thin is the line between joy and dread when it comes to following sport. Because it is unpredictable. Prayers, wishes of going through this up. Plus a lesson to me - signing up to first aid course first chance I get. To be able to act, to know how to help, how to react seeing people needing help.

He doesn't even actually get hit, he tackles another player and they like spin around and it is very mild compared to the hits they take every game.

As a medical professional of 15 yrs, CPR is one thing. However, once electrical shock and intubation are initiated, that elevates the seriousness 10 fold. Praying for Hamlin, his family, friends, and both teams who were there for that scary event. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@cardiovert5269]

Being defibrillated or intubated does not increase the seriousness 10 fold. The fact that CPR is initiated is max seriousness. That means he didn’t have a pulse or breathing. Doesn’t elevate above that. Being defibrillated means there’s a fighting chance to convert him out of his arrhythmia. You don’t shock asytole (flat line). Odd statement Carlos

[@SportsandTrueCrime]

@@cardiovert5269 Tks for this. As a nurse, I was confused by this statement. More so because this is written by a supposed medical professional. Can u plz clarify what u practice and/or have 15 yrs experience in? As someone who was also previously intubated when I was put into an induced coma with CV, this doesn’t make any sense. Breathing tubes r damn near standard in the ICU to protect brain function while the body is hopefully healing. AED and “regular” CPR r one in the same. The heart has stopped. Period. Both r used to restart it, to get some type of rhythm back while continuing to manually assist in pumping blood throughout the body. The only diff is the AED increases chance of survival. It’s not less “serious” if one isn’t used. If available, it is ALWAYS used over continuous CPR. Either way, I just hope this young, top tier athlete fully recovers. I feel so much for his loved ones. 🙏🏽

[@Ishai1]

I watched that Denmark game live, and when I was watching MNF I immediately had flashbacks to that incident. It looked so similar with the players surrounding the Damar. I was just hoping the end result would be the same as Eriksen, who made a full recovery and is back playing, and not like the other two instances (I think one of them had brain damage, the other just never got back to playing)
