I can't believe what this guy did.
Mike Danton's epilepsy 'rescue' flawed
The Epilepsy Support Centre is weighing in on hockey player Mike Danton's recent account of how he rushed to the aid of a convulsing teammate at a Swedish game, warning that he didn't use standard seizure first aid and it could have turned out badly.
On his blog, Danton said he jammed his fingers into the mouth of teammate Marcus Bengtsson and clawed his tongue.
But a spokesperson for the Epilepsy Support Centre says this is not standard seizure first aid, and such a method can be "incredibly dangerous."
