Damar Hamlin's Uncle says the damage they are treating is in the lungs.

interview with Hamlin's Uncle.
... Not the brain, not the heart.... The lungs.
Still intubated to keep the lungs from working too hard.
This makes me wonder if this was not a pulmonary embolism (clot) that was dislodged by the hit and traveled to the lungs.
I found it very strange that the Uncle called out the lungs specifically.
I am sure we will never know if we are being told the actual reason he went into cardiac arrest.

This is a very bad OP for at least 7 legit reasons

Fortunately we have our best medical minds working on the case.

I’m sure the little midget Fauci will claim it’s merely coincidental

Well in fairness, the idea of having all information distributed through this uncle is not a good one. At all.

Interview link added.. Whatever your other 6 issues are, I guess you will just have to deal.

He has Factor V Leiden thrombophilia, a genetic condition
ETA: I'm an idiot. Wrong guy, I was in another thread earlier where this was being discussed for another player.
quote:
Factor V Leiden thrombophilia is an inherited disorder of blood clotting. Factor V Leiden is the name of a specific gene mutation that results in thrombophilia, which is an increased tendency to form abnormal blood clots that can block blood vessels.
People with factor V Leiden thrombophilia have a higher than average risk of developing a type of blood clot called a deep venous thrombosis (DVT). DVTs occur most often in the legs, although they can also occur in other parts of the body, including the brain, eyes, liver, and kidneys. Factor V Leiden thrombophilia also increases the risk that clots will break away from their original site and travel through the bloodstream. These clots can lodge in the lungs, where they are known as pulmonary emboli. Although factor V Leiden thrombophilia increases the risk of blood clots, only about 10 percent of individuals with the factor V Leiden mutation ever develop abnormal clots.

You say they aren’t treating the brain but the whole point of the cooling thing they are doing is also FOR THE BRAIN.

How do you know he has this?? The other nfl player mentioned with clots has this.

Are you mixing up Hamlin with the Jets player (Max Mitchell) who has the clotting disorder? Don't recall ever hearing Hamlin having that.
