Fabrice Muamba retires from professional football


Recommended Posts

After the Suarez crap, football needed this, i.e. a good story. He is still not out of danger yet but to know he's speaking, moving and breathing is amazing and all credit must go to himself and those that worked on him and of course all the well wishes too. I'm a great believer in positivity and the effects it can have. His family must be immensley proud and if he recovers this is a feather in the cap of our great doctors and medical staff who often come under fire in this country.

Thank God for cheating dead, you will live long. All thanks belong to God.

Does anyone know where I could find some details on what actually happened from a medical sense? Wondering if he suffers from from non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or something related, might be able to give him a mention in some of my work at the minute.

Fabrice Muamba was 'dead' for 78 minutes - Bolton doctor

 

 

Fabrice Muamba was "in effect dead" for 78 minutes following his on-pitch collapse, Bolton Wanderers' club doctor Jonathan Tobin has revealed.

But Dr Tobin said he had been amazed by the 23-year-old's recovery so far.

 

 

In an emotional interview, Dr Tobin said: "We were fearing the worse and didn't think we'd get the recovery we had. It's incredible.

"It is still very, very early days but to see the improvements we have is a testament to everybody involved."

Unbelievable.

 

Seriously...the medical profession can be fantastic. To think...our government under-funds these guys.

 

78 minutes! What a relief for his family.

All involved deserve massive praise but the main ones are probably those who looked after him on the pitch and on the way to hospital. Both clubs have done really well in this and have probably saved his life.

Two hours after [regaining consciousness] I whispered in his ear, 'What's your name?' and he said, 'Fabrice Muamba'. I said, 'I hear you're a really good footballer' and he said, 'I try'. I had a tear in my eye.

 

:aww:
