Popular Post chirorob Posted January 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2023 Legitimate question. Bob works for the Bergen Record newspaper in the mail room. Bob gets his hand caught in a piece of equipment, his hand is ripped off, blood everywhere, and Bob almost dies. It's bad. Bob is screaming in pain, blood is everywhere, on the floor, on the equipment, his co workers are barely able to stop the bleeding enough to keep him alive until the ambulance gets there. How long does the newspaper shut down for until all of the people in the mail room can effectively work again? Just asking, because if you don't think industrial accidents happen... 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence Chiro Rob (name is Rob) You go talk to 50 people a day about how they are feeling after having the most important person in your life die, it isn't that easy. No one claims it is and no one grieves the same way. All I am saying is unless your dad died in a freak chiropractic accident, it’s not the same. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel terrible for what happened to Mr. Hamlin. There has to be some perspective about what being a responsible adult is all about, including how we handle personal tradgedy. I think this is a terrible look. He's alive, getting great medical care and has his family around him. Get back to work. People's livelyhood are at stake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True story: Last week, a 23 year woman who works in the electrical shop of my company chopped off two of her fingers on a table saw. One of our managers ran over to keep her from passing out, a second ran over with a plastic container to collect the two fingers to bring to the hospital. Once she was ushered into the car that rushed her to the hospital, we returned to work. The doctors were unable to reattach the fingers, and she will likely never be able to return to her job as a lighting tech as a result. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a video where some dude was saying, “This young man is scheduled to make $825,000 this year, and if he can’t play again, that’ll be it for him. 24 years old” and I legit thought it was satire.

I think this is a terrible look. He's alive, getting great medical care and has his family around him. Get back to work. People's livelyhood are at stake. I would consider what Hamlin would want if he was able to contribute to the discussion ??? Anyone remember the Apollo 1 pad fire that killed White, Chaffee and Grissom ??? There were congressional investigations/hearings that followed. Some calling for an end to the space program. In one of the hearings, it was stated that White, Chaffee & Grissom were all well aware of the extreme dangers of their occupation, but none of them would ever want the program cancelled due to their accident. I understand that they ended the game with emotions being on the surface and the players probably all feeling vulnerable, but not rescheduling the game seems a bad choice. I think if Hamlin could answer now, he'd very much want the game to be played. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until we know what caused the heart attack it’s hard to see this a blow to the league, unless you already didn’t like the NFL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a particular player doesn't want to play, excuse them and have someone take their spot. My Father died less than 7 weeks ago, it sucks. BAD. But it didn't mean I got to stop working until I was "emotionally ready". I have a job, a family, and once the dust cleared, life must go on. Sorry.

elvispookie Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Sorry.. im the heartless bastard here... get the "f" back on the field and do your f'ing jobs. Period. If your coworker died of a heart attack in the next cube.. you MIGHT be sent home... but I can pretty much guarantee you will be back to work tomorrow. I feel for Hamlin (glad he is looking pretty good now).. i do.. emotions were high on Monday, a little less on Tuesday... and by Wednesday.. well.. you should have been playing the game. I also love how they need to be with Hamlin .. then the team caught the first flight back to Buffalo and welp.. .left him behind. Cant make that up. Time is well past to get the f*ck back to doing your jobs. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
