@hckynutjohn- most persons who have a cardiac arrest outside of the hospital do not have immediate care or from experienced trauma physicians. He got the best of care & that will make a big difference in outcome.

It will all depend on the condition of his heart pre injury. I just don’t feel he had an undiagnosed cardiac condition because his recovery is nothing short of miraculous. He was in a medically induced coma to rest his heart & lungs & was weaned off the respirator, given lower percentage of oxygen & extubated in a short time from the incident & that gives me optimism about his recovery with minimal damage. I hope I'm right

I was reading that right after Damar collapsed the trainer who resuscitated him knew immediately that he was in trouble and went into action. I also read that The Bills along with the other teams have practice medical drills for instances like this. I read some of the minutes posted today and the trainer immediately asked for everyone (medical, trainers) to assist.

@RespectLife I wonder if he asked, "what happened"? That would've been my first question.

I bet he was surprised to hear nobody won the game.

We went through this...my DD was only 28 and due to a PE, blood clot, she went into cardiac arrest 4 times. First at work, and the EMT's brought her back to life.
Then 3 more times at the ER.

Her first question was indeed "what happened'.

Upon immediately opening her eyes (after 3 days in a coma in Cardiac ICU) she had NO memory of what happened to her or where she was when she collapsed.

She continued to have the tube for another 48 hours, all questions were written.

One of her other first responses was 'I'm hungry" That's my girl!!

At later points, she was piecing it all together.

I imagine Damar's situation might have been the same. After being told what happened...then the game would have been questioned! However, I wasn't in his room, only saying how it was w/ my daughter.

SO thankful his outcome could be the same as hers. LONG recovery, but definitely on the right track.

@RespectLife I'm so happy for your family and for Damar and his family.

Great news, with Damar being placed on injured reserve he might have received a reduced salary but the Buffalo Bills and the NFL Players Association have all agreed to pay him the full amount of his 4 year contract.
