BleedinBlue Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 All we hear is how wonderful the Eagles are doing...blah, blah, blah.....but here's a downer for them. Ambulance called for Mike Patterson Eagles defensive tackle Mike Patterson needed emergency medical attention at this morning’s practice, according to multiple reporters on the scene. Geoff Mosher, who covers the Eagles for the News Journal, wrote on Twitter that Patterson hit the ground hard and was shaking on the ground. It’s not clear exactly what happened, but other players were visibly upset by what they saw. Jeff McLane, the Eagles beat reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer, wrote that “Patterson just went into convulsions.” Patterson does have some movement in his arms and legs. Am ambulance arrived about 15 minutes after Patterson went down, and Patterson was loaded into the ambulance on a stretcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steitzenhaus Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Scary stuff hope he's alright. The NFL is such a guilty pleasure. These guys are all in fantastic shape but when you're carrying some of the weight these linemen do regardless of the conditioning the heat can take a toll. I don't know the cause of what happened but I don't think we appreciate sometimes how grueling these practices can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedinBlue Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 I wonder if it isn't a result of hard head hitting. Latest from PFT: "After suffering a seizure at practice on Wednesday, Eagles defensive tackle Mike Patterson sent out word via text that he’s fine. While that message indicated that he was stable and showing no further signs of distress, subsequent tests revealed a potentially serious condition in his brain. Sal Paolantonio of ESPN reports that Patterson has a “brain AVM,” a congenital tangle of blood vessels in his skull. Patterson will need surgery or radiation to repair the situation. Per Paolantonio, the Eagles are consulting with specialists before deciding on a course of treatment. Here’s hoping that “the Eagles” include Patterson in that decision-making process. We also hope that Patterson authorized trainer Rick Burkholder to share Patterson’s condition with ESPN, and thus with the world. And finally we hope that the Eagles and every NFL team will have ambulances present at every practice. The fact that it took 15 minutes for an ambulance to arrive doesn’t exactly mesh with the league’s new obsession with safety. In cases of serious injury or illness, those 15 minutes could have a huge impact on the outcome of the situation." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedDogs Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Hes ok btw You call an AVM okay? That shit can kill you without a moment's notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osi724dasack Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 You call an AVM okay? That shit can kill you without a moment's notice. Hes alive and well, also joking with hospital staff so He is well. Shit happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedDogs Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Hes alive and well, also joking with hospital staff so He is well. Shit happens. LOL... well, if he's joking with the docs he must be fine. Nobody EVER copes with stress or illness using humor. (sarcasm /off) There's a good chance his football career is over. He's just lucky he had the seizure first... sometimes the first symptom of an AVM is a fatal hemorrhage. He's well? No, he's happy to be alive. Big, big difference.
