The inspiration for my next post comes from this weekend's FA Cup tie between Tottenham Hotspur and Bolton Wanderers of the English Premier League. If you have not heard yet, Fabrice Muamba, a midfield player for the Bolton Wanderers, collapsed around midfield in the 41st minute from cardiac arrest. Muamba is only 25 years old, and is now in the Heart Attack Centre at London Chest Hospital in critical condition. The collapse occured off camera but a couple Spurs players were fortunate/unfortunate enough to see it happen and were able to alert the officials. I say unfortunate merely because seeing such a thing can be gruesome. Several paramedics were quick on the scene and spent quite some time trying to revive Muamba. They eventually sought the assistance of a defibrillator before removing him from the pitch by stretcher. They continued resuscitation on route to the hospital and eventually got his heart going again. Based on news reports on Fox Soccer Channel, Fabrice's heart had stopped for quite some time, approximately 2 hours until finally it began beating again. The prayers of players, fans, anyone associated with football, and anyone that cares to be honest, go out to him and his family. To tie this article to my blog I would like to focus on the capability of mobile defibrillators that help save peoples lives day after day. It is unfortunate that tragedy struck for such a device to be created but after its creation, it has definitely lived up to its expected impact. We must thank technology for its innovative creation and for keeping another one of our talented athletes with us for the time being. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1037005/fabrice-muamba-critically-ill-after-collapse?cc=5901
