The Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has been discharged from Buffalo General Medical Center/Gates Vascular Institute, the team announced on Wednesday. This comes after the playing spent two weeks in hospital following a cardiac arrest.
Dr. Jamie Nadler, the chief quality officer at Kaleida Health which runs the Buffalo hospital, released the following announcement: “We have completed a series of tests and evaluations, and in consultation with the team physicians, we are confident that Damar can be safely discharged to continue his rehabilitation at home and with the Bills.”
Hamlin is now back at his home in Buffalo where he is being taken care of by his family. He underwent a series of cardiac, neurological, and vascular tests on Tuesday before the medical staff came to the decision to discharge him.
After collapsing during the first quarter of the Bills’ game against the Cincinnati Bengals last Monday night, Hamlin was transported by ambulance to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he was treated for almost a week before his transfer to the Buffalo General Medical Center.
The Bills returned to action on Sunday, defeating the New England Patriots 35-23. With a seven-game win streak, the Bills have won the AFC East and are on course for the playoffs.
