We mourn with the Purdue family. Doug worked at Bowling Green from 2003-12 in various roles including Assistant AD for Sports Medicine when he left BGSU for Purdue, his alma mater. #RIP
Bowling Green State University Sports Medicine is deeply saddened by the passing of Doug Boersma. Doug served as the Assistant Athletic Director for Sports Medicine at BGSU from 2003-12. We send heartfelt condolences to his family and all of those he touched throughout his life.
Will have much more on @espn throughout the morning/day. (We recorded an interview) But two other comments to look for from him: Damar’s father is among those calling for any criticisms of Bengals WR Tee Higgins (who was part of the play Damar was injured on) to STOP.
New light has been shed on CPR after Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin's on-field collapse.
@drjashton shares what to do if you see someone suffering a cardiac arrest. https://t.co/2xD5PAMhCx
@NATA1950 The immediate action from the athletic training staffs and every first responder was nothing short of amazing.
No matter the level of sport, athletic trainers are invaluable. Thank you for your dedication, preparedness and passion for your craft.
If we are not talking about the psychological trauma of this tragedy on all football players, we still are underestimating humanity, and forgetting that these are sons, brothers, fathers, & friends playing a game. Reflect on that.
I'd like to take a moment to educate on the key steps to treat sudden cardiac arrest in a collapsed athlete. Watch this video by @DreznerJon and @NFLHealthSafety Early CPR, Recognition & AEDs within 1-3min is the gold standard #BillsMafia@K_S_Institute https://t.co/e37skse5f0
Do you know what to do in an emergency? This 2-minute video demonstrates Hands-Only CPR and using an AED.
There are two simple steps that can save a life:
1. Call 9-1-1, ask someone to get an AED, if available.
2. Push hard and fast in the center of the chest.
