Tmz reporting Bronny James suffered cardiac arrest...UPDATE: STABLE CONDITION

[Legal]

A man damn near had to bury his son, and folks couldn't wait to come out with the tin foil hat shyt.

I hope this doesn't come across the wrong way

But I wonder if he has an undisclosed medical condition . I've read a few stories of players only being diagnosed with something after a major medical episode. Or even after death is when the family becomes informed of the condition

One thing I learned from doing some cardiologist tests is that doctors won’t recommend screening for heart conditions unless it’s the absolute last thing, at least not when you’re in a generally accepted bracket of healthy (I.E. most people until later 20s).

I think it primarily has to do with insurance not usually covering those tests for that demographic, but you’re also not at a statistically significant percentage for cardiovascular issues. I’m personally an advocate for earlier screening (esp with all this post-covid stuff), but just trying to put myself in the doctor’s shoes

Damn glad the kid is alright, that’s some scary shyt at any age, but especially at 17

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

Prayers up!

People are so shytty now that they can’t wait for some bad shyt to happen so they can push certain agendas. It’s really sad.

I’m glad this young man is okay. Sounds like he needs to become an architect or something, but we shall see.

Damn, hope he's on the road to recovery

Best wishes to the James family and Bronny. This is not uncommon, some athletes are prone to have heart issues especially young athletes. Shaq’s son had heart problems. He’s out of the ICU so that’s a very good sign.

Insurance being in the way is a constant story of healthcare in this country.

Thankfully young breh is doing better, that's terrifying

I’m livid man, I was born with a heart defect, that shyt is real, heart conditions are real, and there’s a long list of basketball players that either had to stop playing or even died because of it, for people to dismiss that to push conspiracies just shows the lack of compassion and human decency that people have.

Definitely concerning hope he’s ok

It's a discussion for another thread, but if y'all think that vaccine (or any medicine, period) is 100% safe in 1,000 out of every 1,000 ppl, you're supremely misguided.

There's always outliers in anything.

I'm NOT saying that's what happened here though. Just making a point.

 

[old pig]

oh no…glad to hear he’s stable
