Sounds like wishful thinking on Bowens part. You don't stablize someone's head and then haul them away on a stretcher in an ambulance if you're dehydrated.

      i dont know why they would stabilize his head, but i think they would cart him out in an ambulance if he collapsed or looked like he was having some kind of seizure. i'm no doctor, but the head stabilization is probably just a precaution.

      fingers crossed it's heat related.

          This article says Patterson was texting from the hospital saying he's fine. May have been dehydration.

                Thank goodness. Reminds me of that heatstroke episode with Chris Clemons a few years ago.

                  Thank you thank you thank you.

                  Perhaps they were stabilizing his head as a precautionary measure becuse he hit the ground hard when he fell? Anyway, just thank you.

                    Patterson says "I'm cool" via text message via trainer Peduzzi. Reporting their were no complications from the seizure.

                      Burkholder said ER physician Jeremy Ng is always at practice and tended to Patterson immediately.

                      Eagles say Patterson has no history of seizures, and that he did lose consciousness for a period of time. Patterson will have a CT scan.

                        They are saying it was a seizure though (still testing as to what caused it), and he technically lost consciousness. But apparently is fine now.

                          Bowen reporting that Danny Watkins, who has emergency medical training as a firefighter, immediately jumped in to help Patterson, then yielded to trainers.

                            If I remember my 'heat injury' medicine from Vietnam, seizures are not an uncommon result/side effect of marked dehydration.

                            Very relieved to learn that Mike seems to have recovered so quickly from whatever went on. That's usually a good sign for a positive prognosis.

                              Good news on Laws as well: Bowen says he had a hip flexor.

                                Shaefter reports that it is AVM...not good.

                                Arteriovenous malformation or AVM is an abnormal connection between veins andarteries, usually congenital.

                                Symptoms of AVM vary according to the location of the malformation. Roughly 88% [1] of people affected with AVM are asymptomatic; often the malformation is discovered as part of an autopsy or during treatment of an unrelated disorder (called in medicine "an incidental finding"); in rare cases its expansion or a micro-bleed from an AVM in the brain can cause epilepsy, deficit or pain.
                                The most general symptoms of a cerebral AVM include headache and epilepsy, with more specific symptoms occurring that normally depend on the location of the malformation and the individual.

                                Treatment can be symptomatic, or it can involve surgery or radiation therapy.[2] Embolization, that is, cutting off the blood supply to the AVM with coils or particles or glue introduced by a radiographically guided catheter, can be used in addition to either, but is rarely successful in isolation except for in smaller AVMs.
