Stitches in the mother’s hand? That is completely pathetic.

She had no idea on a way to handle a seizure she was informed by the EMT that you do not anything in the mouth during seizure activity. I have woken up and something was help me breath. I felt sorry for those people. I had a seizure in the hospital and gone into status and it was asthma season and was having trouble swallowing.

people are uninformed or misinformed. That’s why I started my website. If
you want to feel uplifted, read “The Epilepsy Hall of Fame” article.

Thanks for responding!
