And I will say this from my private IFT life in the past, the newest and best units and crews were the ones sent on transports to/from airports as well as longer distance rides, so if I were to broadly assuming all private companies have rotating stock that includes newer trucks - if Damar was taken by road it would have been in a unit less than a year old with perhaps even a 3 person crew (2 medics (crit care/vent certs), 1 emt). Yeah a flight would be smoother but an E-350 van ambulance with new suspension is pretty smooth if not driven by a moron.

I’m just being grumpy about EMS in general and I’m sure whatever service took him would’ve extended their best crews, if not an MD ride.

I can tell you from experience that driving from Cincinnati to Buffalo takes a hell of a lot longer than 3 hours. I was actually en route from Cincinnati to Buffalo when the manas steak was posted.

So simply pretend you are in a totally different city in Ohio that starts with C that also has an NFL team and it's quite easy

my initial thought was that no team would risk fielding him ever again but it's true that time sucks all wounds except for cte, spontaneous death, etc.

If docs sign off that it was a total freak accident and there is no more risk now than there was before, I don't see why he shouldn't be able to. Seems like there could also easily be previously unknown risk factors for him that make it a terrible idea. But my feeling on it all comes down to what the medical professionals say.

There is no way upon the green and gay Earth of God that Hamlin doesn't play week 1, 2023-4 if he wants to do it. He is going to be a poster boy for the NFL Ownership to show that Yes, We Do Care About Our Talent And Help Them Recover To Their Best™ to try and deflect away from all the other meat-grinding this past year in particular has seen (see: Tagovailoa not getting to play this coming game). They know tons of eyes are on Hamlin and that just ejecting him for anything short of a somehow-previously-missed heart defect that makes the risk of this happening again obvious would look absurdly bad, and even that would be devastating and call the quality of NFL health screening into question. The NFL needs him to play again and have a long career, if anything. It is completely in his hands and from the sound of things, he wants to keep going.

Remember when Ryan Shazier tried to make a comeback despite temporarily being paralyzed from the waist down? Unless Hamlin says "no I'm done" he's gonna make a comeback.

What an incredible outcome. Full credit to the medical staff that saved his life and his ability to fight back. Assuming he wants to keep playing (sure seems like he does), I hope he gets back to 100% and back on the field next season.

Do we know what exactly caused the heart attack? Was it a heart defect or did the impact of the hit mess with his heart's rhythm in some way or was it something else?

It was commotio cordis, which is the latter part of your question. If he had presented any kind of heart defect at all, we would have already been told about it (because the league would want to deflect the idea that ordinary football collisions can cause your heart to stop).

I've heard of that happening to people getting hit in the chest with hockey pucks, golf balls, or tennis balls, but with the amount of hits in football, I'm honestly surprised it doesn't happen more often. It has to be a direct hit in a fairly compact area, which is when it happens in other sports. However the pads of football players absorb some of that energy and even more importantly, they dissipate the rest of the energy into a larger area. That's why it is extremely rare in football (but there are a few recorded instances aside from Hamlin). It's just speculation, but maybe a hard edge of his padding was right in the right spot and transferred all the kinetic energy directly

Or, on the other hand, this is private medical information and the NFL doesn't get to decide what is disclosed to the public? I actually don't know the answer to this, I know there's usually but not always announcements about why a player misses a game, sometimes it's just due to "illness" with nothing specified but I don't know who gets to decide what is announced. What specter of commotio cordis? As far as we know this is the first time it's ever happened in NFL history. There's a specter of CTE looming over fans' football experience and it's vastly worse. I think regardless of the diagnosis, if Hamlin plays again, everyone's gonna be holding their drat breath every time he takes or delivers a hit. And I sure wouldn't want to be the first player to run into the guy, presumably one of his own teammates in practice long before an NFL game.
