Unpopular opinion....  I am amazed at the drama of this whole situation...  In the real world life and death happen all the time on the job...  Its a good thing nurses, emergency personel, law enforcement, and military dont need all this drama after every unpleasant incident...  Hope the dude makes a full recovery but come on.....

Football isn't the real world.

Read the room

I guarantee he’s been going off on Twitter about the Lots of scumbags in the world. Millions of us were traumatized by watching a kid die on television. It’s not hard to understand why all the coverage unless ur purposely being obtuse. So proud of the medical staff for saving this young man

I know, but it makes a difference when people see it happen. 

The emotional impact of seeing something happen vs just hearing about is night and day.

We’ve all had those ‘you had to be there’ experiences. 

Yeah, I saw a dude hit by a trash truck in DC once. Pretty rough.

Quick snippet UNC Health

Commotio cordis is very rare. Only about two dozen cases are reported every year. “It's actually more common in activities like martial arts and sometimes baseball, if you catch a baseball to the chest.2 days ago

I believe it has happened to high school kids playing lacrosse too

...asking who won the game...

I'd show him all the donations to his charity and all the messages of love and support and tell him, "you won."

Holy poo they woke him up?
 

For those wondering why in writing? It means he’s still intubated.

Of course he’s going to ask. It’s probably the last thing he remembers. I doubt he remembers anything between standing up after the hit and now.

Did they do a presser? If so can someone link?

Doctors answer is corny. But glad the dude is getting better.

That’s apparently what the doctors told him.
