I'm here bec of Hamlin... Though I know this as the refractory period in EKG. I didn't know that there was a term for this phenomenon.👍🙏

Are there instances of going into cardiac arrest a second time after you get shocked?

[@bdoggbrz]

Interesting. I didn’t see a defibrillator used on the Buffalo Bills player on Monday night football but this could very well be what he experienced.

[@Soulgerman]

I wholeheartedly believe this is what happened to him.

[@cherylreynolds8148]
