Resolution 1: Corporate Practice of Medicine Prohibition at #AMAmtg @AmerMedicalAssn is off to a STRONG start to #EndCorporateMedicine with TWO sections cosponsoring & overwhelmingly supportive testimony

@NBCNews @gmorgenson interesting that they are calling out paper owners

@RitchieTorres Hamas is the ruling government in parliament for the Palestinian territory, they are not just rogue terrorists. They were elected and are still supported by a majority.

@HamlinIsland As a BFLO trained ER Doc I know good CPR and selfless people played a major role,but my entire family (including my 5&3 yo boys) each prayed for a miracle for you that night. Even in medicine I reach my limit, and that's often where I find strength in God. #hamlinstrong

@ItIt45375363 @Chrissi16228964 @BuffaloBills Just because you never heard of it doesn't mean it didn't exist. It's rare, and even more rare in football likely in part due to the stance used to tackle and pads. It's well documented to have occured in lacrosse, baseball, and soccer long before COVID.

[Matt Meier @realMattMeier]

@Chrissi16228964 @BuffaloBills It's sad that people will politicize something that is extremely rare but well documented as occuring in other sports long before COVID. The most well known cases being in lacrosse and soccer. Just because you didn't know it existed before doesn't mean it didn't.

@ktcollopy I'm trained to compartmentalize and process later, but I certainly still find it traumatic. Especially in young otherwise healthy people. It would concern me if I didn't.

[Matt Meier @realMattMeier]

@drjparente @NFL I know they have at least one UBMD EM doc at bills home games, often 3, and it was my understanding this was already league policy. I'd bet there was an ED doc in that milieu.

[Matt Meier @realMattMeier]

@LHouzer5 @drjparente @nursekelsey @NFL I agree, at home games Buffalo has both, for a code worked on scene a well trained medic and ED doc together should be standard sideline in the NFL, onsite but away from the sideline wastes precious time.

[Matt Meier @realMattMeier]

@Twizzwinton @PURPLESWORDSMAN @maddie_kovach @FOX19Joe @ArifHasanNFL I don't want to speculate on his case out of respect for the family, but overall access to immediate CPR and immediate defibrillation are the most important things. I know at home bills games we have defib and UBMD ED docs on the sidelines, not sure the setup in Cincinnati.

@RealSkipBayless I don't think you understand what was going on, play was stopped because he was dead on the Field. He was undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Everyone there witnessed a man die and then get resuscitated, obviously it's different.

[Matt Meier @realMattMeier]

Praying for Hamlin, his family, the players on field, and all of the medical staff. Watching CPR is traumatic even for those of us trained to do it. Treating someone while the world watches is immense pressure. Support without speculation is the best we can all do right now.

[Matt Meier @realMattMeier]

@nickmmark I was talking about this with colleagues. We're conditioned to treat, compartmentalize and go on to the next room and at times it still wrecks us. As a non medical person this is disturbing and traumatic, especially for the people on the field that

@Mom1nterrupted @jordonr Breathing tubes can be placed for various reasons including airway protection. They are rarely pulled immediately after put in even if the patient is breathing on their own. Still being on a vent doesn't mean patient can't breath on their own.

[Matt Meier @realMattMeier]

@SlimPimpin6 @BeeNBee123 @kalamazoolocal @SteveNeuge @jordonr But people have normal vitals after intubation all the time. People should really stop speculating and being social media medical experts here.

[Matt Meier @realMattMeier]

@BeeNBee123 @kalamazoolocal @SteveNeuge @jordonr Not true. There are many cases where someone would be intubated and sedated (ie medically induced coma in non medical terms) with now stable vitals. Cardiac arrest with now stable vitals is one of them for various reasons that I won't speculate here.

[Buffalo Bills @BuffaloBills]

The thoughts and prayers of all of Bills Mafia are supporting you, Damar. 🙏

[Matt Meier @realMattMeier]

@DGlaucomflecken I'm glad the coaches seemed to take it into their own hands and walk off the field. It's not natural to go on with your day after witnessing CPR, even as trained docs who don't know the person it's hard to move on sometimes.
