Lol, if I ever tried darts I would 100% get stuck for 5 months on a score of 3.

soccer stadiums in NZ don't exist so good luck. Our national team has to scrounge a stadium from a rugby team when playing their one game every three years.

30 years ago and they have since got married. Seems ridiculous.

Did you dream when in the coma? Or was it just blackness?

I’m conflicted how to feel about this with the information given. Yes domestic abuse is bad and should be punished accordingly but this seems unnecessary. Has something else occurred recently that shows a pattern of violence? Why has an event from 30+ years ago that the involved parties have since reconciled matter today? Confused.

One hundred and EIGHTYYYYYY…. Seconds.

T’was foretold in the ancient texts.

Nope, leg would be complete already.

The former

Big Ern energy.

will they be testing his reflexes if he’s sedated on purpose/being cooled?

I said put the bunny down…

If the first guy had hit it in nine would that have been the leg or would the other guy have had a chance to match to throw his 7-9 darts?

In a few cases, I’ve had people wake up during CPR. That’s rare. Waking up within the first few hours does happen, and those people tend to do well. The longer he goes without waking up, the more worried I get. When we get to 7-10 days, it’s pretty clear that things aren’t going to go well. Additionally, if I see cranial nerve reflexes that are absent or sluggish, or new seizures, I know things are going badly. If he’s 2 days in, not awake yet, but his reflexes are all normal, he can still have a good recovery.

I know these are long answers, but this stuff is complicated.

So do you automatically bust if there's no double for an odd number on your final throw?

thank you very much

i really appreciate you

remindme! 2 days follow up with this nice doctor

Sure does! I'm not from anywhere nearby, so can't easily help unfortunately

Usually, we think of 3 minutes as being when damage starts to occur. I believe I read that his pulseless time was around 8 minutes. I have seen people recover nicely from 10 or even 15 minutes of down time, but that isn’t guaranteed. Once you’re around 20 minutes, the outcomes start to look bad. It’s possible to support someone with ECMO during a prolonged cardiac arrest and still have decent outcomes.

In his favor, he’s young and in good physical condition. His heart was in great shape prior to the arrest, so hopefully it isn’t stunned too badly and is able to pump blood effectively. He likely has healthy blood vessels that feed his brain. He did receive medical attention quickly. The tricky thing is that these are just so unpredictable. I’ve seen them go better than expected and worse.

if we don’t hear that he’s awake in 2 more days, would you say it’s most likely bad?

is there any way they could’ve already woken him up if they saw all positives?

so he went into the tackle, had trauma into his chest area, heart stopped due to the timing of the hit

we had enough blood/oxygen for like 10 seconds to stand up/move

goes down

sideline medical crew rushes over

check him for concussion/spinal injury

how many minutes between going down and getting treatment was his brain starved from oxygen

if it was more than 5 minutes, is he most likely doomed?

there are soft tip dartboards with single and double corks though
