I think the reason some people are p*ssed of with OP is because she is commenting on something she could have done something about.

If she had written this post then put...but i asked her if she was ok and she said fine. then it would have been a whole different conversation.

Op if you had asked or done something at least your conscience would be clear knowing you did everything you could in that situation.

Brilliant - the thread had had a nice 7 hour sleep and dropped WAY down Page Two and YOU chose to post on it to revive it all. All today's twaddle probably wouldn't have happened if it weren't for your actions.

no wonder you had to type big. It must be quite tricky typing with your head up there!

Who exactly do you think you are to go telling people what they should have done in order to have a 'clear conscience' and accuse them of feeling guilty?

I am just astounded at how self righteous and self important some people are on this board.

Just as an aside, re the epileptic fit, what do you think the bystanders should have done? The covention is you don't do anything during a fit other than move furniture if possible to stop them injuring themselves (eg in a restaurant you would pull the table and chair away). You don't try and restrain the person having the fit, you don't, as some believe, put a spoon in their mouth, you keep out of arms reach to prevent you from being injured. I wouldn't call an ambulance in the first instance, many epileptics don't need one, a fit is scary to watch but in someone with a history of epilepsy, unless they injure themselves, an ambulance is not needed, and in many cases by the time it would get there they have stopped fitting and are highly embarrased by an ambulance showing up. I would stay with them, watch for signs of swallowing their tongue and once they have stopped fitting, render assistance, ask if they do want an ambulance or someone to be called etc.

emma69 i think anything would have been better than just standing and watching dont you? noone moved the furniture, noone comforted his distressed nephew until one woman took control of the situation. my point is not everyone knows the right thing to do at the time. i wasnt trying to start an epileptic debate :S

but tbh the OP did feel guilty so they wern't accusing anything :S she clearly felt embarassed for not doing anything to help and felt bad and didnt have a clear conscience.

yes there are alot of people taking this a bit far but right now it seems you might be aswell, and i'm not assuming or accusing you of it, just how it looks to me sorry :S

Gotta love someone who calls people rude but can't do so without resorting to swearing. Bless

sorry, are you short of something to do?

posting to say you're not assuming or accusing but it is your opinion?

and that others may be taking this a bit far?

bonkers.

I think there's something in the water, personally.

Elvis, Mother T and me have left the building ;)

I just wanted to point it out - so many people DO rush in and 'try' to help, making things worse (trying to restrain someone who is fitting is what most people try to do). I would hate for someone to think I am 'doing nothing' when actually I am watching to ensure they are not swallowing their tongue, and waiting for the seizure to pass before I can actually be helpful. I wouldn't be comforting the nephew (I would be watching the person).
