Herc11

This has nothing to do with Hamlin's hit. However I saw this on Twitter. A dirty block in the back and drive Johnson into the ground on his head injury and then Hutchinson trying to roll into Josh's legs.

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

It doesn't appear to be a vascular injury. That would result in what is commonly known as a heart attack. When a heart attack occurs, vessels to the heart are not able to supply sufficient blood to the heart muscle itself. This would require intervention to restore the blood supply. Due to the fact an AED was used, this means his heart was in a shockable rythym which has to do with the electrical conduction in the heart.

I posted this previously, but it obviously got buried pretty quickly. As a critical care nurse this is what I would expect going forward. What we know is he is intubated and in the critical care unit. After cardiac arrest the patient will be in hypothermia protocol. This means he will be deeply sedated to limit any stimulation. This will go on for 24-48 hours. There will be no updates during this period, as there is nothing to update as long as his vitals remain stabilized. After the time period, they will reduce sedation and test his ability to respond. This is the first step in assessing brain function. Depending on his response, they may need to sedate him further. You typically only try these tests 1 or 2 times a day. With all this said. I wouldn't expect any meaningful updates until Thursday.

Medically induced coma

No, because you would bleed out internally within a minute or two depending on the severity.

Unfortunately we most likely won't know anything for at least a few days. As an ICU nurse, I've cared for people many times after resuscitation. Word is out that he is intubated in critical condition. This means he will be in a medically induced coma, via sedation. They will have him in hypothermia protocol for 48 hrs before attempting to reduce sedation meds to test ability to respond and breath on his own. Until they begin testing for ability to breath and respond to commands, they won't know his level of brain function. The worry is if he suffered an hypoxic brain injury. Just giving this info out so people understand what to expect with updates going forward.

You don't shock asystole. That is a Hollywood myth. You do, however, give CPR. You only shock certain arrhythmia to get the heart back into a regular rythym

Eh... to me its just like a SNL skit or any other skit show thats been around. These just aren't on TV because forms of delivering entertainment change. I grew up in the home video game boom of 80's and 90's and older folks said what you are saying about us. The older generations have always griped about what the younger generations do for entertainment whether it was radio, TV, video games, internet, and now apps. Guess society will continue to fall, or maybe its just passing us by.

A bit that Caleb from Barstool does and they are hilarious.

What if he was pushed back and broke free before the whistle and scored a TD? There is a reason you don't blow the whistle immediately when forward progress is stopped.

Cap'n would be pretty funny

The only ones still talking about this are Bills fans. Literally no one cares or thinks Oh my God those degenerate Bills fans were *gasp* THROWING SNOWBALLS!

If T.O. is getting sued for his little skirmish, this dude is definitely cashing in. Good job Willie, you really got him as he laughs his way to bank with your money.

Did you really just have a conversation with yourself? 😂

The Hulkster is BillsMafia????

Everyone I've talked to since the game that are not Bills fans thought the snowballs were hilarious. You guys acting like the world is looking down upon Bills Mafia now are being dramatic.

Ooh found the keyboard hero

#1 they are snow balls - good lord people, stop being pansies. I loved that McDaniels was crying about them being hit with them. Snowballs arent gonna hurt anyone, except people's feelers. #2 this isnt the only stadium it has and does happen in #3 some of you must not remember or know about the days of batteries being thrown at Bryan Cox - that crap isn't right #4 This is football, not a fancy dinner, a recital, or church. Its supposed to be rowdy, raucous, rabid, and FUN.

When you're watching your teammates drop critical plays over and over, frustration is bound to happen

No mercy!

Sleep in your car

You must not be old enough to remember Chris Watson

Sounds no different than this fan base after the losses we took this season
