Great news from the Chargers: he is doing well and expected to discharge the hospital later today!
Do you think this will have long term effects on him? I really hope this doesn't mess up his game... the dude is so talented and he deserves a long and fruitful playing career.
@@nuttychilli9177 you got to think that would mess up at the very least his mental game. Like that was essentially a non-contact injury.
@@nuttychilli9177 you have to think it certainly will have long term effects. Concussions are no joke. Look at Junior Seau, Vincent Jackson, and even Philip Adams. Extreme cases, but I can’t imagine that shock he suffered won’t have some kind of lasting effect.
So maybe he really was just shivering from the cold. Joe Buck was right.
Dang that's crazy about the putting hands out during this,
Back in mid 90s when football was still gladiator games I was known for extreme contact, because I had severe PTSD since 2yrs of from watching my mother murdered and being trafficked for 4 years,
Football was my fight response release and being a large athletic kid I ran 4.4 220lbs and held power clean record at 285 my Jr year...
So I always went for a kill hitting you and every game for years that was the case.
One play I remember like yesterday was coming in the backfield I'm meeting a fullback on a lead block, I swim move him and I meet the tailback forehead to forehead, and I thought I blew him up, but my eyesight went black and my hearing was gone, and I was stuck standing in that position with my hands out in front of me as my vision comes back I see spots blinking everywhere and my hearing slowly comes back and the crowd is cheering loud because the back bounced off my hit and ran up the sideline for a TD,
I remember my coach was looking at me standing there like WTF just happened,
I chalked it up to maybe a concussion, I never left the game and played couple more years never having my head looked at, and always helmet to helmet was standard,
My helmet and facemask was stick marked like crazy, we use to take pride in it. Snot bubbles, decleaters, roaching a fool... They were the days.
So this kinda explains how the I felt that day... Maybe a slight concussion? Now my neck is another story, I'm almost mid 40s and a chiropractor was giving me my first alignment and my neck lmao, he asked if I was in a car accident because I have cartilage build up in my neck...
I never felt so good though getting it all cracked out OMG, but yeah my neck sounds like rice crispy treats in my head...lol
I had a similar injury while snowboarding 21 years ago that almost killed me, and I still suffer from effects to this day. Head trauma is no joke. Thoughts go out to Donald Parham.
what do you deal with from the accident still?
Prayers up to Donald Parham
I feel ya my friend and I hope you're doing well. I've had several my self racing mx and sx and worry what cognitive function, if any, I'll lose when I get older.
Same, I smashed my head on ice @ Sierra at Tahoe, I had had concussions in football before but it was the snowboarding that did it. Been the the amen clinic and have pictures of my prefrontal cortex and the damaged portions as well as the back of my brain. Explained a lot with the issues I deal with since then. Unfortunately it changed a lot about me and after 14 years it's a struggle all the time, the headaches, the visions, the loss of focus. Wear helmets when riding. The after effects suck, hate to say it but my kids won't be playing football either......and I LOVE football
@@jpjones5880 I smashed my head when I fell on an icy sidewalk years ago. According to my sister I was unconscious for 30 seconds or so. The headaches I would occasionally have after that would be so bad I would get nauseous.
The Family of Donald Parham Jr. would like to say thank you to all of those who have shown so much support, sent messages and your prayers. We appreciate all of you.
Thank you Dr. Sutterer!!
That was a freaky injury. On first glance it looked relatively benign. He fell on his own and wasn't lit up by an opposing player.
I've been into fighting sports for most of my life. I've seen the fencing position before. I can't recall seeing someone still in that state as long as he was in. That was the most alarming thing for me to see.
I truly hope he makes a full recovery and gets back to life as normal.
He posted on Instagram saying he was fine
@@xphnyx9299 yeah like he can see 25 years in the future.. it's not about today
Yeah. Fighters do it pretty often. I’m a titans fan but was scared for parham when I was watching it live. I was worried he broke a vertebrae or somewhere far worse. His reaction was scary. Hope he gets better
@@terryhamilton1196 ... was thinking the same thing. He may want to seriously consider retiring once he's on his feet again.
Ngl this is without a doubt the scariest injury I’ve witnessed based sheerly off Parham’s reaction after hitting the turf. The fencing posture is something I’ve seen before with KO’d athletes (notably combat sports) but the seizing/muscle tonicity minutes after while being carted off genuinely has me concerned for this young man’s well-being. My prayers go out to him and his family, may he come out of this relatively unscathed. 🙏🙏🙏
Look up Jhavid Best injury when he landed on his back after getting hit in the air. The reaction was similar to this.
Nothing will ever be worse than the Johnny Knox injury. I dare you to TH-cam it. It’s the reason you can’t lead with the helmet anymore. NFL don’t ever wanna bring that one up.
The scariest injury ive ever seen in football is when this guy gets literally folded in half while diving for the football. His back almost touches the back of his thighs
@@joe-tatothepotatobiden47 I had a similar experience. In high school I tackled the runner grabbing his ankles from behind and my teammate hit him high coming from the front. I felt his back hit my back after being folded backwards. He let out some serious screams afterword. Pretty scary stuff.
Look up the Trenton Cannon one. Just happened this season. On the opening kickoff he bent his neck into his teammate.
Thank you for being on top of all sports injuries and making videos in way more than a timely manner. You are appreciated!!
Bro absolutely this guy rules! Scary for parham tho wishing him a sound recovery
Maybe the NFL should begin training the players to try to fall correctly (I know there's only so much you can do when people are landing on you). Basic judo teaches you to always watch your belt when you fall on your back
They weren't locked.
Keep Rockn' in it
Not of it ! 👍🏻
Ant?
Thank you for your posts. I teach a sports medicine class and when athletes are injured your thorough explanation/concise information allows my high school students to understand all types of injuries.
That was so fascinating. Thank you for the succinct and compassionate explanation. Hope Parham makes a full recovery.
First of all, you're a good guy, Brian.
Your explanation of this scary injury in a straightforward way, but with a caring manner is certainly a calming way to be able to listen, understand and learn something from this more scary injury than most of the orthopedic oness you've addressed.
Thanks!!
I agree. He spoke very well so that normal people (non medical) people can easily understand. I have suffered a few concussions but luckily never lost consciousness.
I knew this was coming. Thanks for your insight. It seems crazy that what was not a hard person-to-person hit could cause this much damage. But as you have described, it can. I always learn something watching your videos. So thanks for posting them.
Yeah I mean he talked about the "primal response" to stick your arms out to stop you from falling I guess this is why, if you can get that much damage done when you have a relatively gentle fall in a padded helmet an everyday fall could end up doing just as much damage better to throw the arms out there.
@@HalooINC that's why you have to be careful ever getting into a street fight. People tend to be ok from the punch but the head hitting concrete can be deadly. Whether it's yourself or the person you hit and end up with a murder charge.
Wasn't even a person to person hit😒
Not crazy. /
He talked about that because that could happen to certain people. /
Thanks for doing what you do here on YT, makes us understand a lot of stuff! The approach you take in this kind of injuries is the right one, keep the great job you do up!
I only trust this guy, one of the best sports medicine doctors on the app
Same
@@ItsRyanPuleo Same!
😁 same I don't watch any other content creator on injuries.
On what app
@@matrixed8099 umm, the one we’re using 🤔?
I've had several hard injuries and broken bones over the years. Thank god for people like you who are there to put us back together. I admire your profession Sir.
They can do very little to treat brain injuries. They can explain it OK- but treat, not really. Tell you to rest, some PT and meds- then it's about managing your new normal.
@@UTAH100 Tell somebody you've never been to medical school without saying you've never been to medical school LMAO
@@loglog4162 I'm not sure that I follow you. I certainly have not been to medical school but I have had an mTBI. I've seen too many docs- most of which did not do much to help me. They are however very proficient at billing. The honest ones will actually admit, they can't do much and that the brain is a mystery. They will do some basic tests then give you a mini lesson on how the brain works and what a concussion is. I'm an avid reader and researcher. Sadly I know more about this type of thing than most people. I still deal with it years later.
“I’m Johnny Knoxville, welcome to jackass”
@Spoon Interesting Spoon. I did not know that. Better still, don't swell your brain in the first place. So you mask some initial inflammation which allows you to continue playing and taking further hits to the head. It's like icing a bad ankle and suiting up to play on a bad ankle. This is why many end up with CTE. Marijuana also kills brain cells.
Happy this man is doing well!!! My prayers are going to him and his family. What a scary injury! Take care
Well said, Doc. Thanks for sharing.
I hope Donald Parham has a speedy recovery. Life is beautiful and fragile all at the same-time. 🙏
Wow. Just wow, prayers out to Parham and his family
So what prayer will you be sending ? And Hail Mary 🙌 does not count
Prayers won't help them but let us hope medical science is up to the task.
It initially looked so benign. These guys hit the ground all the time. The slow-mo replay really helped. I've seen you talk about this reflex before. I didn't see it till they were carting him off. Hope he'll be alright.
It's actually pretty crazy how much those catches hurt them. Calvin Johnson talked about one where he landed on his back and got a big concussion didn't even remember the rest of the game.
Right!! Know that has to scare the hell out the other players seeing that happen on what seems like a routine play
Exactly, I was watching the game and thought how could he have let go and then saw him stay on the ground and thought this cant be good, then he got carted off and i knew it was bad. Seeing that slow-mo showed me how bad the landing was
Because it WAS benign. He's another vax injury. Stroke hence the spasticity.
You are likely the best narrator around a detailed topic like this that I have ever heard. Very good pacing, clear articulation, and kindness in your voice. Great job!
this was actually so painful to watch
GEORGE FLOYD
Come on, the Doctor’s presentation wasn’t THAT bad.
Wow you are really easily frightened lol
Not really many people like myself love seeing this
@@afridgetoofar1818 maybe they mean the play itself.
Just wanted to say thanks for the informative and adding a touch of humanity to the explanation. I always appreciated your videos and just wanted to relay my thanks.
I didn't see the injury live but after watching it and this video, I have a better appreciation for all the work you doctors do. Please keep up the content.
Former EMT here; thanks for the update, Doc. Kudos to the medics out there that did their jobs and got him to the next level of care as soon as possible. Happy holidays, all!
Brian -- many thanks for stepping up and helping to clarify a scary and confusing topic/situation for those who don't understand the dynamics as well.
As soon as I saw him lock both of his hands in a defensive posture, Instantly, I knew that was an brain injury. That whiplash he suffered falling down after the catch was very intense and his body wasn't ready to absorb the impact as his mental consciousness was still trying to hold on to the ball.
I thought he was just acting out because he catch was incomplete.
Yeap and I knew right away I got really upset because I thought he was going too start to have a seizure.
@@Horse_teeth dude me too, I thought he was looking at his hands like why did i drop that
@@edonhartford3164 he did when he was being stretchered out. His arms were shaking like crazy
@@Horse_teeth I don’t get how you can see a body tensing your as acting
Excellent and incredibly timely assessment. And hopefully this helps coaches and parents appreciate that head injuries don’t always fit stereotypical mechanisms of injury.
Excellent, tactful, professional synopsis of the event. Thank you for medically educating and informing the public and myself of how that breaks down. Much appreciated 🙏
Very well explained! And with compassionate tone thanks for your sensitivity let’s all say a prayer for Parnham! 🙏🙏🙏
Mad respect - as soon as I saw there was an injury I knew you'd have a video out. Really appreciate it - the clip has been hard to find online.
Thank you for taking of your time to share your knowledge with us on this injury to Donald Parham. we all pray that he will make a full recovery
you're not truly religious are you?
Thank you for this excellent explanation doctor. Sadly, I have endured multiple concussions and neck trauma. Brains were not made to hit asphalt at 20 mph; nor auto accidents. The effects get worse as I get older. I pray that he heals well
Praying for u my friend I’m sorry you went through such an injury
@@Arkaden25 Thank you Eli!
I really appreciate having a doctor explain what's going on. It removes a lot of speculation. So thank you for that.
I feel like you did a good job of balancing the medical information/footage in a way that let us figure out what happened without feeling like its watching a train wreck.
The second I watched it happen, I've been waiting for you to post!! Thanks always Doc for your awesome uploads filled with great information. Sending prayers to Donald ♡
Love this channel. This is my go too when I want a better understanding of a injury. Shout out to Brian. Love the content.
Thanks for putting this out. You are an asset to TH-cam my man.
you QUICK quick
Been waiting for you to post this, was scary especially seeing him still having issues 10 minutes later on stretcher heading off the field. Looked like such an innocent play, hoping for a good prognosis for Donald.
Thank you for all your information. I have been thinking about this guy. I feel so sorry for him. I appreciate the way you broke it down for me! Great job!
Thank you for insight in all that happens in the world of sports
Thank you so much for your timely commentary. I always look to see if you have put out a video when something like this happens. Thanks also for being clear and concise.
This definitely one of the scariest injuries I've seen.
This was one of the scariest injuries that I've seen. I cannot imagine what his friends and family were going through as all of this was happening. Wow...I still get chills just thinking about it.
Brian great job explaining this...keep up the great work. Also, even though Joe Buck's comments were completely inappropriate I believe he was just trying to bring some sense of comfort to the fans...was it right for him to do this "no" but I don't know how I would have reacted if I were in his situation.
It was scary. Esp after they took the facemask off. I swear his face was blue looking to me so my brain went to the worst place. Glad to hear he is doing better
Grow up.
THIS was one of the scariest injuries you’ve seen?
You need to watch more football
@@grumpycat1178 well he was blue and his arms were still as boards. I honestly wondered if he was even breathing. And scary to me is anything head, neck or back. Ankles and knees getting bent or broken in the wrong direction is creepy but not scary.
This play looked innocuous. I was surprised when he was injured.
Great video as always. Thanks for sharing!
First time I’ve watched one of your videos. Thank you for simultaneous in-depth and succinct explanation. Subscribed immediately.
You did the best you could reporting on a stressful on the field incident. Be kind to yourself.
This way a very scary moment to watch and hunted for information to understand what happened. Thanks for taking the time to explain!
Great job presenting the facts and plausible reasons for everything we saw on game night. Everything you said was medically supported with zero speculation or hypothesis. Thank you.
Hello Dr. Sutterer! I just want to thank you for your informative videos. I am a grad student at Franklin College in Indiana and going for Athletic Training! I have learned so much from your videos and share them with my class all of the time
Thank you for the video and for explaining what we saw. This was very scary to watch. Prayers he's ok.
Outstanding video. Excellent explanation and scope on topic.
Excellent Analysis and Explanation 🙌🏾
Your explanation of the thoughts behind why we think the posturing happens after an injury like this was so enlightening. It just makes me appreciate even more so how complex and sophisticated we are as human beings. Freaking cool. Sad to see this happen to someone, but learning the theories behind why the body reacts this way is fascinating. Thanks doc!
Beautiful explanation and one I know Joe Buck was wishing he could deliver, but as you said he should of just left well enough alone. As an announcer I’m sure they feel like something is better than nothing to help the narrative along, but obviously tonight was a great teaching moment of when you let the professionals do the talking!
We are blessed to have people like yourself in this world. Thanks for your time.
Ive recently been fainting what appears to be randomly and i learnt more from this video about it than the countless hours ive spent with doctors and in hospitals in the past few weeks. So thank you for that and keep it up.
It was sad to see as any injury to these amazing athletes and of course I’m hoping he’ll recover.
My thoughts & prayers go out to Parham Jr. & his family, for his quick Recovery. God Bless him 🙏
Great video, Doc! Thanks for the explanation
Absolute BEST explanation of what happened last night! Fantastic job, Dr. Sutterer, and thank you!
The fencing response is always so scary to see. It happens so fast, I've seen players get into that pose before they hit the ground.
When I see stuff like this I always wonder what we can do to mitigate these risks and improve player's safety. Thanks for your timely video
Thank you, Dr. for the explanation.
Thank u for the information
Prayers for Donald Parham 🙏
Prayers for Donald Parham for a full recovery.
The crazy thing is that even how the head hitting the ground looks fairly light compared to others we've seen in the past is unbelievable. Just goes to show every angle, direction and speed can result in any kind of outcome.
Thank you for the excellent explanation.
Very good information. Thanks for sharing!
I’m praying for his recovery and man throughout this whole season should be for parham ⚡️
ONCE AGAIN,,,,BLESSINGS TO THE MEDICAL STAFF FOR AN IMMEDIATE RESPONSE!!!!!!
Thankyou so much for explaining… Praying for him…. 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
Thank you for the information.
i knew it was a concussion as soon as he went down because of the fencing response, and i learned that from these videos
Excellent, intelligible explanation of the injury we witnessed. At first glance the contact did not appear violent enough to account for the degree of trauma he sustained, but everyone's physiology is unique, and Mr. Parham may have had characteristics predisposing him to concussive injury from less force than the norm, such as dehydration. I really hope he will not have any visual impairment from this injury.
Thank you very much for explaining this
Thank you for the explanation.
was waiting for this explanation, hope Parham recover soon.
Thanks for the update and explanation
Hi Brian. Thank you for all the great content. I would love to know more about concussions and what to do in the aftermath.
Thank you for posting this I was wondering what happen hopes he’s okay💙
It was scary watching this live . I am praying for him . As a veteran with bad nerve damage from combat related injuries it is really hard to deal .
side effects from the jabs ? vax are falling down like flies !
That’s a scary one man. My daughters collage had a player on the football team that had a head contact with the ground that knocked him out. He got up very quick after started to walk and collapsed again that was in September during their home coming game. That was over 3 months ago. His brain started to bleed he was in a coma for a month they relieved the pressure in his brain a few different times his brain kept hemorrhaging. Poor kid now has to relearn how to walk from that injury to the brain. I think he went through Atleast 5 surgeries from a injury that didn’t even look that bad cause he got up and walked on his own a few steps before he collapsed into a coma. I rewatched that play over and over it didn’t seem that serious until they took face mask off and his arms shook uncontrollably and they rushed him off in a ambulance. Just freak headshot man I hope this man can get back into form and it won’t be as serious as my daughters classmate. We’ve been praying for our Eureka Collage Red Devil warrior that he can regain mobility and get back to living a normal life. It’s been a long tough road for him I hope it won’t that bad for that Chargers receiver. 🙏🙏🙏
Excellent information. Thank you…
EXCELLENT break down thank you!!!
I really hope he’s okay 🙏
These definitely stick with you, it was all I could think about the rest of the game, I could only imagine playing in the game...head trauma is so scary. I somehow avoided any serious concussions in my playing days but I saw quite a few. I hope he's ok
Excellent information and explanation, thank you.
thank you for your input, doc. hoping for a full recovery.
Thanks for the explanation. Basically this could have happened falling in your yard or in a park.
Many bull riders get dash boarded or slammed to the ground and "posture up.". When people haven't seen it, it's alarming.
Bell Helmets offers a proprietary design called MIPS, OR MULTI-DIRECTIONAL IMPACT PROTECTION SYSTEM, USES A SLIP PLANE DESIGNED TO MANAGE ENERGY FROM ROTATIONAL AND ANGULAR IMPACTS. It works very well 🏆🙏.
you are incredibly smart. this was so informative and interesting, thanks for posting this!
Great breakdown Dr Sutterer!
Just after the game ended I came to TH-cam to listen to your comments because I knew you were going to share some words about the injury. Thank you for explaining this side of sports in a non technical jargon to all non specialists like me.
Sometimes it’s very difficult to know what’s going on inside. Hope he recovers 🙏🏽
Great explanation from this dr about what happened.
Thanks doc. Great information, presentation, and sensitivity.
You continue to be one of the best people on youtube.
Been waiting for this vid. I know he would post quick!
For real so scary
Prayers🙏🏼 & Healthy Recovery for Parham also it's really good to hear that Parham will be going Home today🙏🏼💙💛⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛🙏🏼💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Excellent information!!!
As a former boxer and huge boxing fan, I knew instantly when he hit the turf that he was Ko'd and a bad one at that. I seriously hope there is no subdural hematoma, prayers
The only thing that was frustrating to watch was after they had him stabilized, the medical staff kept him on the field for a few minutes while teammates were surrounding him. When it comes to a brain bleed, every second counts, they have to get a CAT scan asap
