The CC Sports Medicine emergency action plan that was in place at the school was activated, and through rapid initiation of CPR and application of an AED, our Sports Medicine Fellow Dr. Breanna Kebort and our Cleveland Clinic athletic trainers Michelle Fowler and Andrew Mindek were able to resuscitate Mr. Radley. Of note, Dr. Kebort is an Emergency Medicine-trained physician and Michelle is a BLS instructor. Mr. Radley was able to be discharged from the hospital within 3 days. He was feeling so good that he was even able to come out to the JCU women's game this week to surprise everyone (photos below). |
