every once in a while I realize that everyone in the hospital are being kept alive 20 and 30 somethings who struggle to feed themselves anything but caffeine
I realize no one wants my opinion, but I truly believe the reason people agree with the NFL not suspending the game until hearing about Damar Hamlin’s condition is because the average American has no idea what CPR really entails or means.
As an ER doc, I can 100% tell you that after cardiac arrest, CPR and defibrillation (AED), there is no way any provider will say Damar Hamlin is ‘okay’ anytime soon.
Cancel the game @NFL. Let people be together.
Seeing how much the world accepts that it’s impossible to move on after watching CPR really makes me think about how we (medical professionals, especially those who work in Emergency departments) are expected to just move on immediately after a code.
It’s funny how dudes who only remember that the “mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell” are trying to tell others that they shouldn’t take the vaccine
