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.

"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?
