Lifespan posted:Now that it appears he will survive and probably be able to lead a normal life, if they find out it was commotio cordis and not a deeper issue, is there any chance he could ever suit up again? Or does the damage from this whole experience destroy the chances of being an athlete? Just too early to say, really, because we don't know what if any long-term damage this might've done to his cognition/heart/lungs/other vital organs. If the long-term damage is nonexistent or minimal and it was just a freak occurrence with no deeper issues attached, theoretically (I should note here I'm not a doctor, I just did a lot of medical reporting/writing in my day) he can get back onto the field. There are tons upon tons of questions to answer between now and then, though, and unfortunately that's just gonna take some time.

BonoMan posted:30,000 ft answer is just that the body is a hugely complex machine and there's a lot of possible damage (or actual damage we just don't know about) that could have occurred. You can have a responsive, talking person who is still in mortal danger of organ failure. Basically this, I think. Also doesn't help that different institutions will have different definitions for stable/critical/etc.

Whether he plays again is going to come down to a) whether he's mentally okay with it and b) what, if any, long-term physical issues may have stemmed from the initial incident. Commotio cordis presumably isn't like concussion where you're more likely to suffer another if you've suffered it once already. It's a freak thing. That said, there could be long-term ramifications from having suffered lack of blood flow, undergone CPR, etc., and some of those factors could keep him from taking the field again.

Yeah, that was Prothro. Career-ending injury. He's had 11 surgeries over the years to repair it, but it's still not back to 100%. Just loving heinous.
