My initial thoughts on him playing on after two heart issues on the pitch over the last six years that he was being irresponsible and putting lots of people on edge whenever he plays.
But the more I think about it is he being really helpful to humankind? They have implanted a device into him that essentially kickstarts his heart when things go wrong. My understanding of it is that it is very much in the experimental stage and he is a live test subject. So should we be thanking him for putting his life on edge to try and help the species? If so that is a really kind thing to do. What a person he must be. [Post edited 8 Jun 9:14]

Sorry you've lost me here. ICD's are certainly not experimental, they've been around for ever, my dad had one.
So I assume that you're being ironic, in which case, Its a poor show to try and tell people with an ICD how they should live their lives. Unless you're a cardiologist of course, they have permission to do that. |  |

You do know a defib doesn't "kickstart" your heart, ie start it pumping again, it simply correct abnormal beating. So essentially Eriksen's heart started to beat irregularly and the icd helped to correct it.
And yes, I do know what I'm talking about. |  |

Has he had 2 issues? I thought he only had the one, before yesterday? He hasn't commented since then, that he's going to carry on, so why would you feel this is irresponsible? |  | | |

Once your heart stops, your heart stops. As another poster said, an ICD corrects abnormal heart beats, it doesn’t kickstart your heart. |  |

Not sure an ICD is that experimental, or designed to kickstart your heart more to correct abnormal heart rhythm.
I think it is simply a case of someone who loves what they do trying to continue to do it, nothing more / nothing less. |  | | |

I used to live next door to the CEO of a major heart hospital (you’ll have heard of it), and both he and his wife (who was also very knowledgeable in this area) said he’d never play football again after the first incident. |  | | |
