In may of this year, 13-year-old Evan Hamilton was dared by "friends" to down eight shots of tequila. After his attempt, he passed out due to alcohol poisoning and was subsequently rushed to the ER at the UC Davis Medical Center. After a CT scan, a brain tumor was found. According to his family, "the dangerous lapse in judgment turned out to be a blessing".
December 23, 2009 @ 6:43 PMWithin a week, the doctors removed the tumor and months later he recovered well enough that he was able to return home. Although the tumor is completely gone, a tracheotomy was performed. Currently, a tube still supplies his stomach with food and uses a machine to assist his breathing while sleeping.
