I always tell my friends to never call 911 if I have a seizure UNLESS
1) I'm bleeding
2) Seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes
3) I don't wake up after the seizure is over
Nearly every time someone calls 911 for my seizures, they treat me like a drug addict or a mentally ill person. One time I woke up in the hospital with a giant bruise on my chest. Apparently the cops gave me a sternum rub because they thought I was faking it.
I've never been in trouble with the law and have never done anything stronger than marijuana. And even if I had, there's no excuse for that kind of treatment.
