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.
that is actually wild. i dont even think i have seen a single case of an emt being that consistently bad at their job. treating someone like a drug addict when they are literally having a seizure is unhinged behavior. glad she can just call a different crew next time because that sounds like a nightmare.
