My lede:
About half the time, the doctors and nurses on popular fictional TV medical shows give improper seizure first aid that, in reality, could lead to broken teeth, bruises or dislocations, according to a study to be presented in April at the American Academy of Neurology’s annual meeting.
Epileptologists noticed a trend of “people doing very inappropriate things on television and seeing some of the same sorts of things happening to our patients in real life,” said Dr. Jeremy Moeller, who co-authored the study. “It’s impossible to definitively prove the connection, but one of the potential sources of misinformation is TV.”
The whole shebang.
