Seeing bad reports from a HS football game in Mississippi

Probably paralyzed

Damn hope he’s ok

God that is some scary shite. I can’t imagine that Dr. would be prepared to do that during a football game

Game was cancelled as well. Horrible thing. Can’t imagine being a parent and that happening to my child.

Cervical spinal cord injury

Not good. Prayers for this young man

Man, that is so sad. Unfortunately, there is very little chance that he will not be pronounced brain dead in the next couple of days. Prayers to him, his family and the community.

Damn, prayers sent to this young man and his family. It's a game most all of us love, but at the end of the day, it's still just a game. A shame.

I doubt you would see that kind of injury from a football hit. More likely, there was no one there who was able to intubate and the EMT or team doc elected to go for the trach.

Awful.

Not sure if it compares but there was video of a soccer player last year who got kicked in the throat...didn't even look like a bad hit. He collapsed to his knees, gave a choking motion to his bench, and soon went unconscious. The medical staff attended to him and, when lifting him onto a stretcher, it was plain as day the guy was dead...purple. Apparently his aorta was severed below the skin, essentially drowning him. Not sure if that's the case here, but the immediate trach makes me wonder.
