I am really enjoying sharing my experiances with you guys. And since taking the first step to go to the doctors it seems every day now i have some new experiance with Epilepsy. Maybe its just that i am more aware of it, or that i am looking for it. Who knows. *i used to drive a 1990 nissan pick-up, saw them everywhere. Now i drive an 09 Mitsu Lancer, And i rarely see the pick ups anymore but now tonnes of lancers. Same idea*
So anyway. Went for lunch today at work to a fast food place and im standing in this huge line waiting to order when out of nowhere, this younger lady about five people ahead of me crashed to the floor and the had *what looked like* a MASSIVE grand mal. *she was tense, eyes wide open but no thrashing? Just solid as a log and going blue in the face.* this lasted about 3 minutes. all the while she's bleeding from where her head hit the tiles.
What bothered me about this, was that she was there alone so no friends there to help her. Yet nobody stepped forward to help or even move out of the way! some people didnt even look at her. So i took off to the condiment counter grabbed handfuls of napkins and put her squishy purse uner her head and covered the cut *small but still* on her head with napkins.
The employees called an ambluance and sat back and watched. Finally a gentleman helped me when she finished the seize and rolled her on her side.
Not sure if she fainted then the blow to the head caused the seize or if she was epileptic. I couldnt find anything around her neck, wrists or ankle to say othere wise. and i let the EMT look at her wallet while i watched.
I came back to the office and all i wanna do is cry because im so angry at stupid inconsiterate people. I sure hope that if i have a TC in public someone will help. :crying:
Anybody else ever witness something like this *injuries etc* where nobody bothers to help?
