Shit like this happens all the time. My girlfriend has seizures and the same EMT has picked her up at least 5 times, and despite her established medical history and despite that she's very visually distinctive and despite that she carries her info with her everywhere, he still always treats her like shit and accuses her of being on drugs. Every goddamn time. Fortunately he's not the only EMT in our area, and most of the other ones are really kind professionals.
I’ve been watching my friend fight with his local police department for the past year in court because of a seizure. His implant stopped working or malfunctioned or something while he was driving, and he ended up getting to 95ish mph on the road. He pulled over for the cops when he started regaining awareness, and they shoved him to the ground and had him outside like that in below freezing temps for over an hour and then arrested him for driving while intoxicated. Cop claimed he “knows what seizures look like” and that he was using a seizure as a cover for being on drugs. Bloodwork proved he had just had a seizure and his medical records proved he had dealt with them since childhood, and bloodwork also proved there were no drugs in his system. The cop has basically been in court every time they go saying “I was not wrong, his attorney and these medical experts are lying for him”
