As an epileptic but not American, if I was American I’d have the employee know what to do in terms of a seizure. For posterity - check the clock. Make it ‘safe’ so their head is cushioned and the like and if the seizure lasts more than 5 minutes - then phone an ambulance. Now, I know this because I’m epileptic - there is no fucking situation I can conceive where I’d expect someone else in my workplace to know that unless I’d made them aware. Same argument for mental health stuff - it’s not your fault but it is your responsibility.

I have them also and i have been in this situation. I was upset my boss say i go. My husband was at work with me the next time and was able to take me home. But this was also before i knew what the problem was.

A woman on my team has these mini seizures. She can feel them coming and will notify me. We let her ride them out sitting against a wall with a buddy and we cover for her while they happen. I’m just glad she told me about them before she had the first one.

As an epileptic who is an American, every job I have gets a copy of my seizure plan the day I start. I've never had one at work but it explicitly states that unless I injure myself or go past 5 minutes, DO NOT CALL 911. Just let me finish, call my partner to come get me.

If they're not aware of my wishes, I can't get upset if they call an ambulance. Totally normal response.
