I have been subjected to many tests to determine whether or not my seizures are psychogenic or epileptic.
I understand this...
One I just learned about is whether or not a patient preserves their modesty.
I'll take a sternum rub over this one anytime.
This did happen to me on one trip to the hospital and it just makes me so sad.
After being subjected to painful stimuli and loud noises everything went really quiet, there was a pause and then they slowly cut my shirt and bra and waited for my response. They paused.
Then they raised my arms above my head and then I came around.
I was awake for all of this. I just couldn't move until that moment.
Everyone left the room. That's when just the nurse came back, patted me on the cheek, ripped out the tube from my nose and said, you're fine.
I just wanted to put this out there for anyone else subjected to this.
I had no idea at the time but there it is. I am just appalled and embarassed.
Is this too graphic or controversial? I just didn't know they could do things like this. But they can, and they do. I debated over whether or not I should post this.
