Around the nation: USC freshman basketball player Bronny James suffers cardiac arrest


Bronny James, a freshman basketball player at the University of Southern California and son of NBA star LeBron James, suffered a cardiac arrest on Monday during training with his basketball team and has since been discharged from the hospital, in today's bite-sized hospital and health industry news from California, the District of Columbia, and Georgia.

  • California: Bronny James, a freshman basketball player at the University of Southern California and son of NBA star LeBron James, suffered a cardiac arrest on Monday during training with his basketball team and was later stabilized. James lost consciousness and was sent to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where he was briefly in the ICU and was stabilized by Tuesday morning. According to the American Heart Association, an on-site medical team quickly responded, starting CPR on James and providing early defibrillation. On Thursday, James was discharged from the hospital and according to LeBron James, "everyone [is] doing great." (Lou, MedPage Today, 7/26; Borzello, ESPN, 7/27)
  • District of Columbia: Sen. Mitch McConnell (R) on Wednesday appeared to suffer a medical incident during a press conference after he stepped up to a lectern, began speaking, and suddenly stopped mid-sentence, standing still for about 20 seconds before being led away by his fellow Republican senators. McConnell then returned around 11 minutes later and continued on with his remarks. When asked by a reporter what had happened, McConnell said he was "fine," and an aide later said McConnell "felt light-headed and stepped away for a moment." (Frieden, MedPage Today, 7/26)
  • Georgia: CDC announced that a salmonella outbreak linked to ground beef sold in ShopRite stores in Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York has sickened 16 people, including six who were hospitalized. The ground beef was labeled as 80% lean and was the only common food purchased by the people who became sick. CDC said it is working on identifying the source of the ground beef. (Carballo, New York Times, 7/26)
