Here’s an item of epilepsy news that can’t be repeated too often. WebMD
offers sound advice about how to respond when someone has a seizure.
The most important rule is this: Don’t panic. Seizures can appear
frightening, but they only last a few minutes at the most. They look
like a medical emergency, but they’re generally not. Help other people
in the area stay calm, too, asking them to make room for the person
who’s having a seizure.
