Saving Lives on the Field: A Sports Medicine Professional’s Perspective on Damar Hamlin’s Cardiac Arrest
Introduction
Damar Hamlin, the talented safety of the Buffalo Bills, recently encountered a life-threatening situation during Monday Night Football against the Cincinnati Bengals. As a sports medicine professional, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of being prepared for such incidents. In this article, I will delve into my perspective on this incident, discussing the quick response of the medical staff and the significance of their decision making in saving Damar’s life.
The Critical Moment
Monday Night Football is always filled with excitement, but October 4th, 2021, will forever be etched in the memories of Bills fans and sports enthusiasts alike. During the game, Damar Hamlin suddenly experienced a cardiac arrest, sending shockwaves through the stadium. The entire scene was distressing, but as a sports medicine professional, I knew the importance of remaining calm in these high-pressure situations.
Preparation is Key
In the world of sports medicine, we continuously prepare for worst-case scenarios, hoping that they never come to fruition. However, our preparedness becomes vital in times of crisis. The cardiac arrest suffered by Damar Hamlin was an unexpected event, but the medical staff’s unwavering preparation ensured his survival.
Applauding the Medical Staff
As a sports medicine professional, I cannot help but applaud the medical staff’s quick response and decision-making during this critical moment. Their expertise and ability to stay calm under immense pressure were instrumental in saving Damar’s life. The medical team’s immediate recognition of the situation allowed them to initiate life-saving measures promptly.
Emergency Action Plan
Every sports team must have a well-developed Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place to handle unforeseen medical emergencies. This incident highlights the significance of having such a plan. The medical staff on-site executed the EAP seamlessly, rushing to Damar’s aid and implementing appropriate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques. Their quick thinking and adherence to the established protocols played a pivotal role in reviving Damar and stabilizing his condition.
The Impact of Timely Intervention
Cardiac arrests are time-sensitive situations where each passing second matters. The rapid response provided by the medical team allowed them to administer life-saving interventions promptly. Their immediate initiation of CPR and utilization of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) played a significant role in restoring Damar’s cardiac rhythm. This incident emphasizes the crucial importance of timely intervention in saving lives on the field.
An Emotional Reminder
Damar Hamlin’s cardiac arrest serves as a poignant reminder that professional athletes are not invincible. Even the fittest and seemingly healthiest individuals can experience unforeseen medical emergencies. This incident compels us to delve deeper into the overall health of athletes and the need for comprehensive cardiac screenings.
Conclusion
The cardiac arrest suffered by Damar Hamlin during Monday Night Football sent shockwaves through the sports world. As a sports medicine professional, I witnessed the importance of preparedness and the impact of quick decision-making in saving lives. The medical staff’s swift response and adherence to the Emergency Action Plan proved essential in reviving Damar and stabilizing his condition. This incident serves as a reminder that even in the world of professional sports, where strength and athleticism reign, precautionary measures, and the ability to respond swiftly can be the determining factors between life and death.

The increase of this has sky rocketed over the last 3 years .
Horse crap. It wasn't Commotio Cordis.
Thanks Jeff for this educating video!
The Thousands and Thousands of hits and Tackles through out the years of the NFL'S existence and it's never happened. In the last 2 years soccer, Young basket players have been collapsing on the field and court. I wonder what's different in the last year and a half. 🤔
Doping 😢
IT WAS THE VACCINE THAT GAVE HIM A HEART ATTACK
SPIKE PROTEIN IN VARIOUS ORGANS, CAUSING CLOTS ETC.
#diedsuddenly
Definitely wasn’t ..”the thing”
i wonder if he had any experimental medical procedures in the recent past?
Siempre buenos los videos de Jeff!!!!
Un genio!!
Praying for him ? Did he get the the …… …. Because about 12 million people have dropped dead for around two years now and over a billion people have been maimed we know people that had to get a pace Maker!!!! And another Dr Our Dr friends can't walk anymore Our suggestion band it and NEVER get one again ….. Because that's why it's happening…..
Why don't we talk about the elephant in the room… you know, the one nobody dares to talk about…?💉💉💉
Jeff said it, this does not happen…. So what makes this one different?
It's not being rare over the last 18 month
If it was from the jab do you think he would say so?
💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉
The question is how many jags Bob he get.
It definatley wasn't the Jab OK!…OK!
Safest thing ever OK!
Oi you, it wasn't the Jab OK! Get it!.
Let's not forget that this never happened until Trump and Pfizer got together and did a little Warp Speed experiment.
This is why I’m cpr certified
Hamlin is dead. If you notice they have not released any recent videos of him or even a simple bedside interview.
Another Covid cult consequence
There was like 8 sports players that same week that either collapsed or died.
That's not including the 1000 in the last year. That's unheard of.
We all know the real reason. You're either naive or in denial if you think it's anything else.
Excrement! 1. Football shoulder pads have a breast plate on them. 2. Commotio cordis occurs with a hard projectile striking an exact spot on the heart. So it happens in baseball, cricket, hockey and lacrosse but its very, very rare in football, American and European. A few dozen cases a year happen in baseball and lacrosse. There have been zero in the NFL. This is just an attempt to divert attention from the number one suspect in the differential diagnosis. No-one will mention it on mainstream media, and unfortunately, our boy has been blackmailed by Sauron's minions to put up this tripe and the previous video encouraging his ten million subscribers, at the time, to undergo the unmentionable, pharmaceutical intervention in order to protect grandma.
I've been a subscriber to this channel since it was at two million subscribers. I signed up with AthleanX, bought two programs, won one free. Jeff diagnosed me five times without having stepped into his office, he helped me to help myself and keep my hernia at bay. I changed my training, diet, returned to the gym after almost 30 years. It's also because of Jeff that I didn't believe what health authorities and the TV news were saying about the unmentionable, public health threat, and found out how much we've been lied to about a great many things in life on this planet. Sometime earlier Jeff was interviewed by Brian Rose on London Real where Jeff provided his views on the BS present in the health industry. Later, this platform offered up another video with Brian Rose, this time complaining about censorship by youtube who threatened to shut him down if he uploaded another video with an interview of a man named David Icke. Well that piqued my curiosity. What could this man, of whom I had never heard before, have to say that youtube didn't want me to hear? Well that sent me down a long trail, becoming familiar with a lot of doctors, scientists, lawyers and publicists who were upsetting a lot of big, powerful institutions.
When the unmentionable, public health threat was foisted upon humanity, I had expected Jeff to come out with a video encouraging his subscribers to do their own research into the unmentionable, public health threat by going to pubmed, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ the National Library of Medicine administered by the NIH. At that time you could have entered in the search window words like infection fatality rate and the unmentionable, public health threat. Now you can search for things like myocarditis and thrombosis and the unmentionable, pharmaceutical intervention and find out yourself what real scientists are discussing. When Jeff and Jesse put out their first video encouraging us to undergo the experimental intervention it became obvious to me that youtube coerced him. Jeff reads the science papers and he at the minimum knows that the FDA is not doing its job. He had put up a video long ago where he chastised the FDA for taking over a year to ban a substance proven to be harmful but was used in supplements. Then he ranted over the manufacturer of one product for advertising a discount sale of the "old formula". So it became obvious to me that he was being threatened and not acting in good conscious. Its not the Jeff Cavalier we all respect.
I take no pleasure whatsoever in calling out Jeff on this matter. But if you can get past the sentiment and empathy, and seriously, go investigate what's on pubmed and ablaze in the alternative media, decried, denigrated and despised by big, corporate media as bunk, look at things rationally, you'll come to the conclusion that our man here is attempting to persuade you that the unmentionable, pharmaceutical intervention could not possibly be responsible for Damar Hamlin's collapse. Jeff has, however, in fact, brought a knife to a gun-fight. And here's my first gunslinger, Peter McCullough, a cardiologist. Behind him there's 20 more docs. and PhD's in medical sciences that say the PCR test to detect the purported virus causing the unmentionable, public health threat is useless (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/346483715_External_peer_review_of_the_RTPCR_test_to_detect_SARS-CoV-2_reveals_10_major_scientific_flaws_at_the_molecular_and_methodological_level_consequences_for_false_positive_results), or search yourself for the Corman Drosten Review. Nine guys in black robes with doctorates in law agreed with the 20 guys in white lab coats.
Dr. McCullough (https://www.petermcculloughmd.com/) is a well published and heavily cited cardiologist. He cites science papers the way Jeff bats off variations of a push-up. You've probably never heard of him unless you caught his four minute interview on Tucker Carlson. No one else in the mainstream media has the balls to interview Dr. McCullough https://www.petermcculloughmd.com/. You can find a longer, 50 minute interview with him on Children's Health Defence. On the Tucker Carlson show McCullough notes that cardiac arrest amongst professional athletes in Europe is usually on average 29 a year. Last year it was 1598, 1101 which were fatal. He also notes that there are over 200 scientific papers linking myocarditis and the unmentionable, pharmaceutical intervention. You can find these papers yourself on pubmed as I've written above. As McCullough states, until proven otherwise, myocarditis resulting from the unmentionable, pharmaceutical intervention is at the top of the list in the differential diagnosis to be investigated.
Here's another pair of gunslingers, Denis Rancourt and Ed Dowd. The first is a physicist who analysed all-cause mortality in Europe, the USA and Canada. In his research he finds no increase in all-cause mortality in Europe and Canada in 2020. However, in the United States, there was an increase namely among the poor and obese in warmer regions. https://correlation-canada.org/research/. Ed Dowd is a former investment analyst for Blackrock (get to know that name and the CEO Mike Fink). Dowd analyzed mortality statistics, documenting an increase in sudden deaths in 2021 and 2022 in his book "Cause Unknown". (https://www.amazon.com/Cause-Epidemic-Sudden-Childrens-Defense/dp/1510776397).
If you feel that my long comment is inappropriate here, I dare to differ. We've all been affected by this insane situation. The sooner everyone understands what we're really facing here, the better chances we all have of surviving it.
Good to see he's better
Now just ask him…
How hard did you get hit in the chest?
No one is asking him this…I wonder why
They have a breast bone plate on the chest protector. It's the vaxx!
The risk of developing myocarditis — or inflammation of the heart muscle — is seven times higher with a COVID-19 infection than with the COVID-19 vaccine.
Pick your poison
Terrible take IMO. In fitness do you except the most unlikely cause and not even address the most likely cause? I think not, but your entitled to your opinion.
it has nothing to do with NFL..people collapsing everywhere you look….if you dont get what it is then nobody can help you
I mean I can tell you but you’d not believe me so we’ll just keep pretending it’s not
From Buffalo, thank you for sharing your story. It’s good to see Damar in full recovery at this time. 🙏
Nicely said, thoughts with everyone involved
You didn’t mention the elephant in the room.
🐑💉🧬🦠☠️⏱🫀💥🚑
If he didnt took "Safe and effective" thing, he would be healthy now.
RIP to 18yr old rugby player Logan Holgate who died suddenly also recently.
Here an medical expert’s opinion I believe: https://youtu.be/n1RSHNT-XYQ
OPERATION WARPSPEED MATTERS.. SAFE AND EFFECTIVE?!?
Prior to 2020, athletes being incapacitated or dropping was not a common thing. sadly we are now seeing this frequently. From Jan 2021 to now, 1101 athletes have died suddenly'from cardiac arrest, compared to a 38 year period (1966-2004) where 1101 athletes under the age of 35 died from various heard conditions. So in 2 years have had the same number of fatalities that was seen in a 38 year span. What was new in 2021, a certain experimental procedure was rolled out globally. Too many are unaware of the dangers or are ignoring the elephant in the room.
Sorry there more to this then just a hit!
Come on its the vaccine. There's been a massive increase in Heart attacks and Strokes in the last two years. Medical studies all over the world have proved it.
Why is everyone getting myocarditis or dropping dead? That’s a rhetorical question.
Record number of athletes suffering from cardiac issues all of a sudden. Hmm what’s different about this year compared to years past. 💉
From one health care professional to another let’s call a spade a spade. I know you got a brand to protect but the first rule for us is to do no harm. Ignoring the obvious isn’t following that rule.
Jeff…. Lets stop beating around the bush. Why haven’t you put out a video, where you discuss this strange phenomenon. Of football players (soccer, to the yanks) collapsing on the field. Even pilots are now having heart attacks. Search vaccine injury on gettr. And there you’ll see blood clots removed from corpses that look like tape worms.
Jeff, do you really think if he was not triple vaccinated AND boosted again, this would have happened ?? Happening WAY too much. MMA fighter just died, SAD.
