Presumably his transfer to a subacute care unit in Cincinnati was an option, but he would rather be at a hospital in his home city and the doctors judged that travel was reasonably safe. I dunno if he flew or went by medical transport or what.

"Discharged" here is misleading because normally when one of us normal schlubs gets discharged, it's because we're going home. But it's technically correct, in that the Cincinnati hospital has discharged him into someone else's care.

Yeah I'd expect him to be at some sort of rehab facility? I have no idea how you'd handle a healthy young adult patient cause all I see is 50+ stroke/heart attack PT/OT rehab discharges. Kind of doubt there would be much PT/OT for an uncomplicated cardiac arrest peak athlete young adult that got incredibly rapid CPR and ROSC. Still hoping he gets a cardiac mri if he hasn't already.

I'd guess he's had every test they can think of.

Same! Went to the Packers game/ritual slaughter in Buffalo this year and of all the various places I've traveled to see them play Buffalo was the absolute best. Hell, it was one of the best trips I've taken period. The people there were incredibly nice, love their team to death, and were a ton of fun to banter with as I wore Packers poo poo wherever we went (as I always do when I go to a road game - have met so many nice people this way because they automatically know that you're from out of town).

Also the food was loving amazing - we went to a bunch of local places and every single one was good. Definitely planning on doing a Buffalo food themed Super Bowl party, what with some dry rubbed wings, chipped beef dip, and beef on weck.

When it happened to me, they wouldn't let me have any sugar or caffeine until I got a cardiac MRI, because there could be damage that would be exacerbated by anything that made my heart race. They wheeled me out of the ICU to the MRI machine. Hamlin is recovering so fast that I'd guess muscle atrophy won't even be a big problem for him.

Or a private airplane. Air medical transport does critical care fixed wing too, with ambulance rides on either end.

I was wondering about that. Air travel seems stressful on the body? Although I defer to Lee and other medgoons on that. Presumably he'd be flying in some sort of controlled situation with medical equipment and staff, not just rocking up to Southwest in boarding group C.

CIN to BUF is a totally reasonable single day drive, too, though.

It’s also a long trip in a bumpy ambulance. Those airplanes are designed for transporting people in a flying intensive care room.

Dude is a millionaire and suffered a workplace cardiac arrest as an employee of a multibillion dollar league. He didn’t bump down the road in a lovely interfacility van with 400k miles on it like some random impoverished dialysis patient.

He kind of is? He tweeted that he's going to Buffalo General, and most likely that means he's going to be at the Gates Vascular Institute - it's a sub-division of the main hospital that's focused on stroke and cardiac care.

They're also strangely common. The little general aviation field I grew up next to had a couple of them a day, because it was easier than dealing with the congestion at PIT (which was USAir's main hub in those days) and closer in road miles to the specialist hospitals downtown.

Even had one slide off the runway back in 2007 and take out the ILS transmitter. Luckily for the crew (no patient on board), it came to rest about 50 feet from the township fire station, who responded in as long as it takes to say "what the hell was that" and look out the window.

So everyone that saw it live or on TV should have to have PTSD flashbacks to the incident when this celebration occurs in the game? Removing it is the correct thing to do.

like 15 years back they removed the 'hit stick' and i think concussions as an injury possibility because people were talking about that stuff. then either the next game or a couple games later it was quietly back in. i'm guessing a celebration animation is just gone for good tho

I don't remember the name of the company, but one of the college bowl games this year had a sponsor who basically owned a ton of subsidiaries that specialized in medical air transport. Given how often dudes would get hurt in Afghanistan and Iraq and be in Germany the next day, it makes sense that some of that technology and knowledge would end up in civil aviation.

We all saw the video footage of the players circled around watching the medical staff perform CPR on their friend and teammate when he was down and a good number of the players watching broke off from the circle and broke down, some dropping to their knees in tears. Do I need to say anything more.

Also... it's a random endzone celebration in a video game. No one is going to mourn it going away, it is likely very easy to patch out, and it avoids any potential reminders of what happened in real life. Seems like a trivial decision to me.

No, but he could have been misinformed by the voice in his earpiece. The TV announcers are fed information from the production team. If it had come from a misunderstanding on the field, by the refs or otherwise, that could just have easily led to Buck being told exactly what he said on air.

I'm disappointed that it turned out to actually be the league trying to get the game going again, though. Of course. And it's nice that Buck wasn't put in a position of having to retract what he'd announced on the air.
