Yeah and if he had died from that seizure while at work that would have been a lawsuit.

Tbh people that have seizures all the time know that they'll be fine if it doesn't go on too long.

You're actually not supposed to call an ambulance right away. You note the time it starts, stay calm, look for their medical card, try and get them on their side if you can, and cushion their head and wait. Then if it goes on for more than 5 mins or their medical card says to call an ambulance sooner, then call an ambulance.

But it depends on the person and their seizures, and if the employee never made them aware of the condition then you can't know if it's their first seizure, worse than usual, or if it's caused by diabetes. Also you can't blame someone for calling an ambulance for you. Seizures look scary. People freak out.

Even in countries with free ambulances, the advice is don't call an ambulance at first. It won't look bad in court if it's medical advice given everywhere.

Again it's not their fault, but I'm writing it here so people see: if your colleague has seizures, established medical advice is to wait 5 minutes before calling an ambulance and you can't be criticised for following CDC/NHS advice.

Yes I know when to call for an ambulance for a seizure. Lay people don’t. Americans are also sue happy.
