A Film

[Cint]

This is a film of a guy as he's experiencing a seizure and going in the ambulance to the hospital. The producer suffers from epilepsy himself and wants the world to see epilepsy from his perspective. Good work! :clap: :clap:
Beware, tho, it may be disturbing to some.

Interesting! Some of it seemed similar to my experiences and some not.

Question: When he's first seen seizing on the ground, it looks like one of his friends is holding him down -- isn't that a no-no? Isn't a bad idea to restrict someone's limbs while seizing (assuming they're otherwise basically in a safe position)?

I was thinking the same thing and also when the paramedics were telling him to calm down while he's seizing seemed ridiculous to me.

Maybe they're trying to show what actually happens, not just correct procedure. As we all know, not all paramedics (and other personnel) know correct procedure for E.

Wow, powerful. I can relate to so much of that. I felt SO ANNOYED the first time when I was waking up from a seizure and they kept telling me to stay calm. I also loved how the paramedics had the exact same spiky hair and sun glasses customary of so many EMTs.

However I am surprised it didn't show any of the question asking. Everytime I've had an ambulance called on me from a seizure they always ask me "what day is it?" and "who is the president?" Of course I always get them wrong so they try to bring me into the hospital but wth do you expect from someone who is literally 10 seconds out of a grand mal seizure? Man I hate that...
