Hartman out indefinitely

Just read on twitter he had arm surgery in HS to remove a mass due to thyroid issues. I don't know anything a thyroid but just putting it out there.

They already said it’s not related to that previous situation.
 
The big C is what I was worried about, too, given the seriousness and discretion with which it’s being treated. I’m very relieved to know that’s off the table.

He’s been such a perfect fit for our school and team. One of our greats.
 
I'm absolutely not a serious person in the least, but this is probably not a thread where posters should joke about Sam's health situation. It just seems to me anyway.
 
If it is a blood clot, I’m just glad that they detected it fairly early and he didn’t have a pulmonary embolism incident in the middle of a game, which is what could’ve happened if they didn’t detect it.

Also curious the level of physical activity someone can do while on blood thinners.

didn't we have a RB who was 1 or 2 on the depth chart break a bone falling from the bunk beds in the dorm once.

Edit to point out that yes we did and mentioned already.

I live on blood thinners and live a normal active life.

Yeah, but you're at a much lower risk of suffering a significant contact injury (particularly an internal injury) that could bleed out. If Dortch had been on blood thinners, for example, he very well might have/would have died. I imagine the risk of TBIs is quite a bit greater on blood thinners as well.

Sounds like he may not need them or need them for very long though.

Cerebral Hemorrhage is the risk - it's a kind of stroke, so similar to TBI.
 
You can not play football on coumadin.

And a clot would require at least six months on it.

Family member took Eliquis to reduce a clot (as described above by deac03) and was told by her doctor that a minor traffic accident or a fall down the stairs could be a life-changing or life-threatening event. Perhaps the doctor was being hyperbolic; I don't know, but based on that I don't see playing football while on Eliquis.

I think Eliquis would be the first line prescription unless he has a medical reason he can't take it.

Coumadin has a ton of side effects and food interactions, so not used as much anymore. And requires regular INR checks.
