At practice yesterday....now out of ICU.

LaBraun, family and friends must be beyond upset.  Sorry to hear it.

Damar Hamlin, the Buffalo Bills player who suffered a cardiac arrest, has made a full recovery and is cleared to play. Hopefully, Bronny James will also fully recover and be able to play basketball. He will have the best of care.

Bronny and Damar were both blessed to receive immediate and excellent life saving medical care. I hope both recover. I am not certain that either should return to the intensity of demanding collegiate or professional sports.

Bronny James is the son of legendary basketball phenom LeBron James.

He is 18 and a freshman at USC.  He was at basketball practice when the heart attack occurred.  Medical staff there treated him and from there, to the hospital

He is out of the ICU and in stable condition.

Thank God he survived.

Sounds like a Scottish Bagpipe player who over exerted  himself while playing "Amazing Grace."

I'm not a sports fan either, but I have empathy for another human being.

@kindred cats  LeBron.

It’s rare, but when it happens it gets a lot of press attention. So thankful he had access to quick resources as it happened during practice at USC.

Most often in a young otherwise fit athlete there is an undetected congenital issue Usually congenital hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or an electrical conduction issue. A sudden cardiac arrest is not the same as a “heart attack” due to an occlusion.

I had one patient, college age.
