"The congressman later told Terry that in his attempt to care for the patient, he thought it was safe to put a gumball in the patient’s mouth as a way to elevate her blood sugar. But in an exchange included in the report between Terry and White Deer EMS provider Kimberly Thomas, Thomas says that the gum presents a choking hazard to patients having a seizure, and that most gum is sugar free and thus would not address low blood sugar."
Personal note ... As a one-time trained first responder, you don't put anything in a victim's mouth, especially someone suffering a seizure. You clear the area and let the seizure run its course. You make sure the victim isn't choking. That's it. Let the paramedics deal with it once the seizure ends. Seizures usually run their course in a couple minutes.
What he said one million percent.
Never, ever try to put something in their mouth — you run the risk of hurting them as well as yourself.
