I had a seizure yesterday in twn, but by the time the ambulance reached us, i was more or less out of it.

They took me to the hospital anyways, but cos i don't talk much after a seizure, i wasn't answering any questions.

They actually threw me out the dept and so i sat on the floor crying cos i was in a strange place i didn't know.

The security turned up and booted me to try and get me to move.

There was a struggle and he called his mate for backup.

This is where it gets nasty.

The other guard picked me up in a headlock by ny neck and put me into a wheelchair, but he still didn't let go.

His grip was so fucking tight, i couldn't even open my mouth to say i couldn't breathe.

I could see my life flash before my eyes, and then suddenky i wet myself which i know happens before you go unconcious (i'm a st john ambulance worker).

Still he wouldn't let go and i'm panic sticken by this time, so i let myself go limp in the hope he would let go.

I heard his mate mentioning something about me going blue, then he let go.

Then they chucked me out onto the street, but i wanted to be checked out by a doctor after what this monster had just done to me.

(I'm starting to get upset now, so i'll carry on the story later on)
 
That's awful! I hope you are feeling better and are able to get some satisfaction from the hospital.

Why was there a struggle with security? You refused to move when they asked?
 
Yeah.
I wanted time to decide what to do as i was in a strange town miles from my home.
 
Oh (((wagster))) I'm sorry that happened to you. I find it terrible, horrifying and disgusting that things like that happen in a hospital to someone having or recovering from a seizure.

Myabe you should wear an epilepsy bracelet - a medic alert - or something like it in the future?
