Mark Schlereth said that there couldn't have been a better spot for Hamlin to have this incident, because the NFL game has so much, on hand medical support.
"He got CPR within seconds...not minutes which is likely to happen elsewhere, but seconds."
That's the difference between living life to it's fullest, and being a vegetable. I've had a CPR/1st Aid card since 1979, and was amazed at how fast they identified, and addressed the issue. It's not easy to tell the difference between barely breathing, and no breathing at all, and it can be difficult to identify the difference between a weak pulse, and no pulse. Every human body is different.
The BEST NEWS though is this: "
Bills announce safety Damar Hamlin has shown 'remarkable improvement', 'appears to be neurologically intact'"
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Thursday that Hamlin opened his eyes on Wednesday night, is responsive and has been gripping the hands of those close to him.
Hamlin has been hospitalized since Monday night, when after making a tackle in the first quarter, he got to his feet before collapsing on the field. According to the Bills, his heartbeat was restored on the field before he was transported in an ambulance to the UCMC for further testing and treatment. After Hamlin was taken to the hospital, the NFL postponed the Bills-Bengals game.
The Buffalo Bills announced Thursday morning that safety Damar Hamlin "has shown remarkable improvement over the past 24 hours" and "appears to be neurologically intact," per the doctors caring for Hamlin at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
