Hopefully he's going to be okay and recovers quickly as possible. Scary stuff that's for sure

I read on Twitter that it was a stroke, no idea how true that is.

my uncle took a stroke at 44, but luckily made an almost full recovery. He was stubborn and never went to the doctor to get his blood checked, just like a lot of other people.

Get your annual check ups people, no matter how old you are or how healthy you feel.

Obviously I have no idea of Rob’s situation, but I’m hoping for a full recovery from whatever it was.
Bob McGill had a stroke and he looks better than ever
Alot of stroke sufferers are not found in time
He was in the hands of good alert people
God speed

With a stroke you have the golden hour to get medical help. If thats what it was, he's very lucky to be around so many medical care professionals.

Hoping for a full and speedy recovery!

As for the forfeit, who cares. The health of one of our own trumps losing a meaningless game, and I dont want our players playing in a game where nobody can focus. Good on Dubas and the Org to shut that shit down.

Does anybody know why someone would have a prolonged seizure like this? I wonder if He has epilepsy or if he’s had small seizures before?
Grand mal seizure - Symptoms and causes

A grand mal seizure causes a loss of consciousness and violent muscle contractions. It's the type of seizure most people picture when they think about seizures.

A grand mal seizure — also known as a generalized tonic-clonic seizure — is caused by abnormal electrical activity throughout the brain. Usually, a grand mal seizure is caused by epilepsy. But sometimes, this type of seizure can be triggered by other health problems, such as extremely low blood sugar, a high fever or a stroke.

Many people who have a grand mal seizure never have another one and don't need treatment. But someone who has recurrent seizures may need treatment with daily anti-seizure medications to control and prevent future grand mal seizures.

Glad to hear he's healthy enough to be discharged and able to fly back home to be with family. This is alarming though, as I believe if you have one seizure you have a significant chance of becoming prone to them. Hopefully, it is some random one-off occurrence that isn't likely to repeat itself.

I have Cerbal Palasy I have had these, they are scary but they do not kill, and you are generally fine afterwards.

Sizures in general won't kill. unless you have one in pool where you can drown, or if you are eating and you choke

But a sizure itself will not kill you, if they did I'd be dead, many many, many, MANY times.

There is no reason he can't coach again, in fact there are several medications that can help with this.
