17 Year-Old Football Play Dies Suddenly

NYP-

A high school football player from Long Island is on life support after reportedly collapsing during conditioning drills at Newfield High School earlier this week.

Robert Bush, 17, of Selden, had only been on the field for about four minutes before he bent over, then passed out due to a “cardiac event” at about 5 p.m. on Monday, his older brother, Steve Bush, told Newsday.

Despite the efforts of his coaches — who performed CPR and shocked him with a defibrillator — and the emergency medical teams who rushed him to Stony Brook University Hospital, Bush went without blood or oxygen to his brain for at least 45 minutes.

“There’s no more brain function,” his brother said Thursday, adding that the teen is on life support.

Although it’s not clear why Bush collapsed, his family said he might have had a hereditary condition that thickens the walls of the heart’s left ventricle, according to Newsday.

Over time, this stops the heart from getting or pumping enough blood during each heartbeat.

  1. Summertime fooball practice.

    Twice a day. Often ending in puke. Always blood. One kid dropping in the heat wouldn’t have satisfied coach Brown.

    Good times.

  2. Go to a non google search engine and type died suddenly and see what comes up. 4 year old cardiac arrests, people under 50 dying suddenly. Gee we will never figure out why. All in western nations that forced vaccinations too.

  3. The article said the kid had only been on the field for 4 minutes so he couldn’t have done enough to just keel over from heat exhaustion or the like. Every story I’ve ever heard about kids dying while practicing football (until after the clot shot came along), the person didn’t collapse after 4 minutes of exertion no matter how hot the temperature – it was always during a “long” practice or running laps / sprints. I wonder if the kid was vaxxed and if the school required it for playing football or just attending.

    …let’s talk about this for a minute.

    Apparently he had a witnessed cardiac event. Coaches trained in CPR were on hand and had access to some sort of defibrillator, probably an AED unless the school has a nurse on staff or a real love of liability. Effective CPR is not efficient circulation, but it IS circulation, so unless they REALLY sucked at it or took long breaks he was not “without blood or oxygen to his brain for at least 45 minutes”. Too, yes, it CAN be hard in the current year to get a timely ambulance in some Democrat ruined areas but 45 minutes would be a SUPER long response time even in the worst, and most folks are closer than 45 minutes from SOME higher level medical facility.

    Also understand what AEDs are NOT. They are NOT a full manual defibrillator so you CANNOT shock a person if the AED does NOT detect what its algorithm says is a shockable rhythm no matter what you push on it. So if the pads are wrong (most will tell you if they are) or if you have a rhythm that isn’t responsive to electrical reorganization like asystole, it isn’t going to “shock” the patient just because you put it on them. I had a kid who was an unwitnessed arrest and probably down too long before the cleaning lady found him that I deployed an AED on, and it never found anything it could work with, which was ratified by the 3 lead the squad brought in later. It can be hard to differentiate fine Vfib from asystole but one is amenable to cardioversion and the other is abuse of a corpse, but when using an AED the AI makes the decision, not you. Some confuse the issue because a fully automatic AED just tells you to back off then shocks and a seni-auto AED makes you push a SHOCK buttom, but that SHOCK button doesn’t do a damn thing unless the AI arms it first.

    Also, if the hospital TRULY believed the kid had NO perfusion for 45 stinking minutes, they would likely have called it because not just the brain, but OTHER organs including the heart would be damaged by anoxia. The only reason to try to reperfuse after a long down would be to try to make some organs remain viable for harvesting, and even that’s no sure thing.

    …so this is probably crap reporting involving bad obsevation and worse understanding by someone who didn’t actually do any investigation or establish a real timeline. This makes it more difficult to believe anything ELSE in the story. I mean yes, a hospital probably WILL fight harder for a 17 yo than a 90 yo, but if the kid’s been truly without circulation for 45 minutes this would be obvious in a number of ways and the doctor won’t keep running courses of medication on an unresponsive corpse.

    Jab or not jab? Who knows. Hospitals and coroners won’t even ask the question, apparently to ensure no real data exists. Seems likely given that the FDA recommended MANDATING the FakeVaxxx in schoolkids and athletic programs were douubly zealous about it, but they ain’t likely to tell us and other things *could* have happened.

    If it WAS a Jab death, woe to anyone who gets any organs from the kid as well.

    Although they refuse to track that also, so we’ll never really know…

    “What? NO NARCAN!?!?!?!”

    …protocols vary but they probably did…they’re not going to talk a lot because HIPAA violations on medical care, particularly ones that can be misconstrued for a 17 yo that didn’t survive, are a lot more of lawsuit bait than reporting something a personal assistant spouts about her geriatric musical has-been whore boss that is the DEFINITION of ‘Public Figure’, with some ‘Pubic Figure’ thrown in for laffs…
