Have been a different outcome here? i think that s fair to say. all right. thank you both for everything that you guys have done and for this time today. john scott from buffalo. you mentioned there are signs of neurological intact. what have been those signs that you have seen from him that give you the reasoning to make that assessment? we are in the situation where we wanted to allow him to gradually wake up as the rest of his body was healing, and last night he was able to emerge and follow commands and even ask who had won the game. and timeline-wise, i m sure you don t necessarily deal with these events regularly, but how common is it from monday night to now for that sort of improvement to be made? the answer to that is it s variable. we do manage postcardiac arrest
To say if things would have taken a few extra minutes or maybe even a few extra seconds there could have been a different outcome here. i think that s fair to say. yeah. all right, thank you both for everything you guys have done and for the time today. this is jon scott from spectrum news in buffalo. you mentioned there are signs of neurological intact what have been those signs that you have seen from him that give you the reasoning to make that assessment? we are in the situation where we wanted to allow him to gradually wake up as the rest of his body was healing and last night he was able to emerge and follow commands and even ask who had won the game. and time linewise, i m sure you don t necessarily deal with these events regularly but how common is it from monday night to now for that sort of improvement to be made?

Conscientious response that we are seeing tonight? as doctors reiner and goop to have made clear. they have been educated opinion, and it s a very educated guessed it appears appearance of them. this is some sort of cardiac event. which was triggered by a blow to the chest. as hamlin made the tackle, and collided with sikh against. most of the focus of what we have been talking about, concerning the nature of football. has been on cte chronic traumatic principled apathy. and the inherent danger of concussions, even sub concussive hits. over a long period of time. and the rather substantial percentage of players who report some sort of neurological or cognitive difficulty at some point down the line. a lot of them in early middle age, or even sooner in some cases. some of the most famous players in football history have reported that.
The first few minutes of this occurring. so he likely got cpr, and then they looked at the, pads and most likely he got an electrical shock to see if they can convince his heart out of that condition, and resume normal activity, and start beating again normally. it s probably what happened. there are other medications like epinephrine to make sure the heartbeat strongly, there s enough damage to the rest of the body. might be adjuncts to make sure the body is functioning well, a bicarbonate, calcium, some of the reactions here. and really the critical piece here to ensure survival and neurological recovery, it is time to formulation, was that within a few minutes, if it is lawrence. it s key that it s the likelihood really shoots up. especially out of cause hospital cardiac arrest, it s
Safer. they have taken steps. but the very nature of the game is at a certain percentage, and somewhat sizeable, of those who play. will eventually suffer some sort of cognitive or neurological difficulty. because it happened played football. with repetitive hits, some of which resulted concussions. but even, as we now know, some concussive hits. which are now diagnose concussions. cumulatively caused great damage. but throughout the conversation, tonight. i think it s been a generalization made. as you know, john, on the last person to access an apologist for football. but a generalization has been made. that sort of goes like this. at least that s what i ve heard as i ve been on cnn the last few hours. this shows you just how dangerous football is. i think this particular circumstance, john, does not fall into that category. any contact sport. of course. brings with it the possibility of injury.
Neurological, cardiac. it s going to open a whole new area of investigation into this sport. i have two young sons myself and i will not allow them to play tackle football at this juncture because it s just too dangerous at this point. also the players are getting so much moral sophisticated how they tackle each other it s getting to become a very, very dangerous sport. now we all love football, but we have to really think it through now and say is it worth it and what could we do to protect these players so that nothing like this ever happens again? even though this case is one in a million, this is like getting struck by lightning, the way that the chest has to be hit at a millisecond of the heart s repolarization. we re talking about milliseconds here as to when the heart has to be hit for this to happen, but still it s happened and once it happens once, it can happen again. such an important point. doctor, many thanks.
