cusimano_brothers 1,655 Report post Posted January 17, 2009 This is a sad, tragic story about a young hockey life lost when it could have been prevented on more than one level. But, in the end, the way this is unravelling doesn't surprise me at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted January 17, 2009 Ah, so there was no truth (or rather, it was faulty information) to those doping allegations. Good. Here's hoping the criminal charges come next for those scumbags. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings_Rule_1010 4 Report post Posted January 17, 2009 (edited) It is always sad when someone so young dies, but it just adds insult to injury that it could have possibly been prevented. What a horrible tragedy. Edited January 17, 2009 by Wings_Rule_1010 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casey 145 Report post Posted January 17, 2009 This frustrates me on a very deep level. I'm looking at doing physical medicine and rehabilitation as a specialty, and working in professional sports is the Grail for a PM&R doc. Only the best get their chance, and it is never taken lightly. To work for a team is one of the highest honors, for any sports-med related specialty. They apparently took that chance lightly, and now a player is dead. Signing off before I say something I'll regret about them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel bad enough that he had a medical condition.. but the fact that his death could've been prevented just grinds my gears. Poor kid. I really hope that hockey organization learns something from this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cusimano_brothers 1,655 Report post Posted August 11, 2009 From Toronto Star : Prosecutors will reopen the investigation into the death of New York Rangers prospect Alexei Cherepanov, who collapsed during a Kontinental Hockey League game last year in Russia. The federal prosecutor's Investigative Committee ruled last month that team doctors were not to blame for Cherepanov's death and would face no criminal charges. But the committee yesterday reopened the case and ordered new medical tests be carried out in a federal centre for forensic medicine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Shoreline Report post Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) Treating a heart decease with steroids, that's a new one for me... LOL What would you recommend, doc? As far as I know, people who are treated for steroids do so to prevent an immune response that causes inflammation. Steroids are used in treating certain heart conditions (for the very reason of avoiding inflammation), but I'm not quite sure that has much to do with this case.. Anyone know what the f*** this s*** is? (apparently also called Cordiaminum): 25% solution dietilamida nicotinic acid Analogues: anakardon, nikethamide, kordiamid. Composition: The solution for injection in ampoules of 2 ml of number 10. Pharmacological Effects: Kordiamin stimulates the central nervous system, irritates the respiratory and vasomotor centers (especially at low tonicity vasomotor center). Indications for use: Kordiamin use in acute and chronic disorders of blood circulation, while lowering the vascular tone and easing breathing in patients with infectious diseases, with an acute collapse and asphyxia, with shock occurring during surgical operations and postoperative period. Dosing and Administration: Under the skin, and intramuscularly injected into a vein in an adult dose of 1-2 ml 2-3 times per day, children under the skin 0,1-0,75 ml depending on age. Introduction to the vein should be done slowly. Side Effects: In large (toxic) doses can cause convulsions Edited August 11, 2009 by Shoreline Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
