Cardiologist Explains How Damar Hamlin’s Cardiac Arrest May Have Happened
New York Post ^ | January 3, 2023 | Ryan Dunleavey

Posted on 01/03/2023 1:15:40 PM PST by nickcarraway

Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin might have been a fraction of a second away from moving on to the next play. Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest Monday night when he collapsed on the field in Cincinnati, was administered CPR under life-or-death circumstances and hospitalized in critical condition after what one independent board-certified cardiologist saw as a collision at the time in the cardiac cycle when the heart is most vulnerable.

“That hit had to occur at a certain point in time that was only five milliseconds long,” said Dr. Marc Cohen, Chairman of the Department of Medicine at Newark-Beth Israel Medical Center. “If that hit occurred one millisecond after or before, this may not have happened.”

What looked like a routine (by NFL standards) tackle by Hamlin on Bengals receiver Tee Higgins resulted in Hamlin getting to his feet, adjusting his facemask and immediately falling onto his back as horrified players from both sides watched trainers, paramedics and doctors assist with his breathing and restore his heartbeat.

Interesting. I heard a cardiologist call into a sports radio talk show this afternoon—not a paid spin doctor, just a working cardiologist.

And he said just that, that in a case of commotio cordis, the player would not have been able to stand up for those few seconds after the hit as Hamlin did.

Interesting.
I had never heard of this phenomenon, but today my daughter showed me the under jersey with “armored breastplate” that my grandson (age 11) who plays baseball and football has been wearing.

How ya doin’ Steve? It’s been a while. Hope all is well. Now my comment LOL.

In all my years as a Paramedic in Detroit, I had only one on-site diagnosed via telemetry sent to the hospital of Cardiac Tamponade.

2 men were arguing in a bar. They both were very drunk. They started fist fighting, then one guy kicked the other in the chest.

The man kicked fell and while trying to get back up, collapsed.

We arrived in approx. 5 minutes after the patient fell.

The football player reminded of that run.

My patient was DOA.

It wasn’t random at all. The plane sat on the hot runway for hours with the air-conditioning running(next to the cft). This increased the temperature of the center fuel tank causing dangerous vapors to rise. It was a perfect combination and when some static electricity sparked a massive explosion happened. After that the plane broke up and the portion of the plane with the engines climbed thousands of feet and looked like a missile to witnesses.

Apparently happens to only about 20 people a year—and almost always they are under age 20.

Sure. That's why the FAA immediately grounded all 747s and did detailed inspections of the center fuel tanks to isolate the problem. No, wait - they really only bothered to look at 5% of them.

We the people live in the world we do today because we didn’t demand accountability yesterday. The TWA sham pissed me off immensely when it happened.

The death rate is up from the Covid jab. All the increase in the death rate is from the jab. They blame the deaths on cancer, heart disease, blood clots, and all other diseases that happened because of the jab. Much more people have died from the jab than covid. Don’t be dumb, in 2020 the flu went away magically, Dowm 50 million. Get real.

Another thing the authorities have been doing is if you died within 2 weeks of taking the jab, they count the death as unvaccinated. Less people died in 2020 than 2019, but 2021 and 2022 death rate ip big time. Because of the jab and weakened immune system.

Big plus for our side, right?
Much higher percentage of libs/Dems vaxxed. (excepting Team Calypso Louie which isn’t that numerous).
Long term distress for lefty demographic?

Here’s the problem that everyone knows but no one will point out. What will you say after the third or fourth of these as has been the case in Europe.

factmart wrote: “More people have died from the jab than from Covid.”

That is incorrect. Over a million have died from COVID.

As can be seen in the figure, 1.104 MILLION excess deaths since the clot shots were forced on the public.

That figure is several months old, and with 7,500 deaths and disabilities occurring DAILY (AND excess death numbers are increasing as the vaxxxxxxxed age with their autoimmune attacks slowly killing them), expect TWO MILLION EXCESS DEATHS post jab to take less than two years.

In 2019, the next figure shows there were essentially no excess deaths but in 2020 with the hospitals killing many with redesivir and nursing homes killing thousands with the DimWIT governors ordering nursing homes to take in infected patients, EXCESS DEATHS spiked as desired.

But in 2021 after the introduction of the jabs, the big peaks correspond with the introduction of the jabs (Jan, 2021), then the big peak in fall of 2021 with the mandates.

SO now with immune systems of the jabbed seriously degraded, deaths will skyrocket as rapidly spreading cancers, for example, become commonplace.

You may not agree with any of these thoughts but the information should be sufficient to convince even the most pro-vaxxxine person to not get any more shots until it is proven that the vaxxxxines are NOT causing these excess deaths.

"while trying to get back up, collapsed"
Then it wasn't Commotio cordis?
You think it might have been Cardiac tamponade? Which is a precondition of inflammation around the heart usually from an infection or damage.

In other words you believe an athlete with inflammation around the heart was allowed on the field?

said, "My patient was DOA"
I'm very sorry you experienced that.
I'm doing Ok and you? What do you do now? Still in the EMT business or something else?

Pericardial Tamponade is usually caused by injury.

The cardiac sac around the heart fills with blood, hampering the heart’s ability to beat.

To be honest, if this football player was sitting in his chair reading a book, I wouldn’t be commenting right now until more information is available.

But the world witnessed the hit (mechanism of injury) to the chest (and location).

Exactly.
