Greg Walker

I heard this on Holmes and Bernstein today:

 

The White Sox hitting coach, Greg Walker suffered a seizure in a game a few years back as a player. Herm schneider took a pair of scissors and knocked out his two front teeth. He then grabbed Walker's tongue to keep him from choking on it. Wow! This is true right?

Yep it's true. I remember hearing about it when it happened.

For being a gluttonous slob, Herm Schneider really seems like a great trainer.

That's a little harsh don't you think? Do you know his eating habits and family history?

in spite of what dan bernstein might say, you cannot swallow your own tongue.

 

bashing out the guy's teeth was unnecessary. just lay the guy on his side to keep his airway open and save him a pricey dental bill. sounds like schneider, being uninformed, overreacted.

When a person is having a seizure, you cannot lay them on their side. I've never heard of someone choking on their tongue, so I cannot say whether it is possible or not, but I do know it is highly unsafe and somewhat unlikely to try to turn a person having a seizure on their side. Unless they're vomiting there shouldn't be a problem keeping their airway open.

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything.

No, he's incompetent.

 

During a seizure the danger is in biting the tounge do to spasmatic muscle movement. After a seizure the danger is in the tounge falling over the windpipe and preventing breathing.

 

Sulley's right, after a seizure turn a person on their side. During a seizure try to get something in a person's mouth to keep their tounge down.

Perhaps the most persistent myth is that a person having a seizure can swallow his tongue. It is not physically possible to swallow your tongue. The tongue, if relaxed, could possibly block the breathing passage. The way to avoid this is to turn the person on her side so the tongue falls away to the side of the mouth.

 

yes. but more appropriately, you can trust my opinion because dealing with seizures is part of my job.

 

my personal training was to put the person in the recovery position, which is a safe position and also prevents choking on vomitus. you generally don't put a convulsing person in the recovery position, but if there is an imminent danger of their tongue restricting breathing, you must roll them on their side. the benefits far outway the risks in such a case.

 

most of the time, just move stuff away from them.

gotta disagree with you here. NEVER EVER put anything in the person's mouth.

That's probably a good idea too. Unless someone has training the person who is having the seizure could end up with a few teeth missing like Greg Walker.
