What would you do if you witnessed as seizure? Here's what we would do:
Be cool, dont gawp, go help!!
Make them safe and protect from injury
(obvious reason.)
Don't restrain!!! Dont stick anything in their mouth!!!
(like the older generation were taught.)
After the seizure, move them on to their side.
Tilt their head back and check they are breathing.
If not, call 999. If they are, sit with them and wait till
it's over.
Offer to help them home or call someone who will
Be cool!! You can do it!!
If you are effected by epilepsy, I apologies for teaching you how to suck eggs!! For those of you who dont know what to do, this advice is for one specific type of seizure: Tonic-clonic (used to be known as Grand Mal. Its as old as tied dyed tee's and so NOT cool)
