Summary

Our eyes don't lie to us and that's why so many were in shock after Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field in Cincinnati Monday night. The Bills confirm the blunt force to his chest put Hamlin into cardiac arrest and at the time of this podcast, it looks as if Hamlin received the best, immediate help you can get and could be ok. We'll discuss what the doctors call this and why it's so rare. We all became news junkies Monday night flipping between our phones and tv channels to gain more information. Unwittingly, I became a media critic and it's sad to say each outlet was predictable in how they treated this story. Worse injuries, and death, to more famous people have occurred in accidents in the past 48 hours but they weren't on tv. So those stories apparently didn't happen. We've become totally driven by only things we can see. The GOP is taking over the house, Kevin McCarthy is fighting to be speaker and the new KCI is about to be the most hip, woke airport in America. Oh, goody!

0:00.0	Window World is proud to present Kevin Keatsman has issues.
0:05.0	Simply the best for less at Windows, Kansas City.com.
0:09.0	It was just an incredibly dramatic scene Monday night as we all settled in to watch the much-anticipated Bill's Bengals game,
0:15.1	which was off to a flying start.
0:17.4	The Bengals looked at least midway through the first quarter, almost unbeatable in this
0:21.7	thing, marching down, scoring a touchdown, going up 7-0, giving up a field goal, then marching
0:26.5	across midfield on a 13-yard pass to T. Higgins, and as he fought for some extra yardage,
0:31.9	he ran into DeMar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills. That's where T. Higgins helmet apparently hit Hamlin in the chest near the heart
0:40.7	and caused something that we've never seen in a football game before.
0:45.1	And that is a player getting up and then collapsing.
0:49.1	It was one of the most dramatic things we've ever seen.
0:51.6	It was live on television with a massive audience and a game that
0:56.8	seemed like a playoff game or something very, very big. And it became intense and dramatic because
1:02.4	nobody watching knew what was going on. Perhaps some of the players on the field saw better what was
1:07.0	going on. Certainly the responders on the field knew what was going on. This podcast is
1:12.3	not a great place for updates. What I can tell you is as of Monday morning, Demar Hamlin is in
1:18.3	critical condition. He's in an induced coma at the medical center in Cincinnati. And experts,
1:24.6	doctors have said that that will like typically in a case like this, your induced coma would last about three days.
1:30.9	The point of that is to cool the body temperature, lower it, and allow the body and the function of the heart and the blood flow to reach the organs of the body and take care of them in a better fashion than you would if you were awake and your body temperature were higher. Again, I'm not a doctor. It's been a lot of time late last night
1:48.2	researching this and this morning trying to bring to this podcast a pretty even approach to
1:55.2	exactly what's going on here and a fair approach. So that really is his condition. What we saw unfold on the field while Twitter
