Thankfully the young man has begun his recovery. Hopefully he’ll come out of this stronger than ever and have a normal life.

Considering the Chasing M's budget was, I believe, under 100k per year I think they should consider allocating some of those funds to the Cincinnati Medical Center and/or providing defibrillators to lower budget recipients like high schools. It might take a change in by-laws but they could retain millions towards their original purpose.

Let’s see if things change in NFL as far as the way they handle contracts, Medical issues, pensions, etc. This is an eye opener.

Apologies for sounding completely ignorant but can someone explain why moving hands/feet would be significant in a situation like this? He suffered cardiac arrest and was then revived, is it to test for damage due to lack of oxygen to the brain/organs?

There were some real issues brought up along with a lot of hyperbole. The chances the NFL would deny Hamlin's disability claim are right up there with my chances for the MegaMillions grand prize.

IMO, there’s no way the NFL will NOT pay for Hamlin’s medical bills after the positive publicity he inadvertently brought. For once, there would be hell to pay if the shield tried that with this kid, who everyone is finding out that he’s actually a great young man.

But makes you think about those career Enders like knee, back, CTE, etc that young players go through before they’re eligible for those benefits/ pensions.

Anytime there's a situation like this where the heart has stopped functioning properly and there may have been a lack of oxygen flow to the brain, there's certainly a potential for brain damage, (I'm sure medical types here can describe this better than me). Until that person is awake, able to move, able to see (which one would need to do in order to write questions on a notepad), able to show signs of being able to think (like asking who won the game), one just never knows if that person is basically going to be okay or has survived, only to be in a vegetative start or otherwise very disabled (both physically and mentally). Obviously, it's way too early to know if there will be any long-term issues as a result of this accident, but it's certainly a very positive sign that he'll likely recover enough to have a reasonable normal life even if he is never able to play football again.

Not OT in the least.
I'm happy as hell for the guy!!
Hoping and praying for a complete recovery and wonderful life for him.

For those skeptical of the power of faith, remember that you have nothing to lose betting on God and being wrong. Whereas, you have everything to lose betting against him and being wrong.
To paraphrase Pascal.

Neuromuscular function and the ability of the brain to initiate/control purposeful movements is very helpful in these initial phases to determine if/what brain damage was done during his cardiac arrest. In a nutshell, no movments on command or painful stimulus-not good. Movement with touching/painful stimulus okay but not too good. Purposeful movements on command, pretty good. In reports of Hamlin, opening eyes, following commands, writing legible sentences is pretty fvckin awesome!! I suspect the breathing tube will be out soon and he will have full neurological exams. His ability to move arms/legs/walk will also be assessed over the next days/weeks/months. THEN many answers will be known. As of now and based on these official reports, I would say I am cautiously optimistic in a...hmmm..good recovery at the least but so much is still not known.

Full interview with doctors in Cincy linked below
Its a slog but has some interesting parts
He had ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) and thats why he was intubated
Doc were asked about commotio (25:20) and they weren't very sold on it
They emphasized how rare it was and they had a lot of more routine things to check on
Bills staff also said player had a pulse when they got to him.
Staff got him so stable they actually waited for the mother to ride in the ambulance

His family wasn’t arguing and thanked everyone who did so. Really great to see the miraculous comeback, though I’m not surprised.
Being super fit was also a massive help.

The Bills are winning the Super Bowl, they were my favorites since the start of the season but this seals it. It will be like when the Bad News Bears rallied around the nose-picking Timmy Lupus. Though they did lose to Vic Morrow's Yankees but my point stands. 😄
