PHOENIX -- Watching athletic trainers and first responders perform life-saving actions on Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin from her couch, Dr. Comilla Sasson had a frank, yet hopeful assessment of the steps taken that ultimately saved Hamlin's life after suffering cardiac arrest during a game on Jan. 2.
"I remember sitting there with my husband and saying, 'it's working,'" she said Monday at NFL Owners Meetings. "Everything is happening like it should. And that was because there was early recognition of the cardiac arrest event, calling 911 right away, early CPR and access to an AED or defibrillator.
