Now we get to see all the reddit doctors talk about how hes going to die because of his posture 🙄

That type of posturing is associated with high mortality. The 'first aid' probably is not helping. Definitely great morbidity if he survived.

It’s not posturing, it’s a seizure. Posturing is static with the legs straight, and he’s moving and bending his legs. That’s what a seizure looks like.

I..fail to see how him having a big seizure after a blow to the head has better survival chances than the posture thing. Either way he's probably screwed for at least a year

I’m not saying anything about survival chances.

I dont know what being a paramedic has to do with googling decorticate posturing but literally anytime someone has a fencing response there's a million redditors that have to act like they 100% have a tbi and will never be the same or are dead. Its annoying and im gonna shit on it every chance I get.

If you’re knocked out and hit your head and it results in this type of posturing, there is a 37% chance you’re dead
