Heartfelt sympathy to family! Public must know that unless this was seizure induced by trauma or “status” (one that didn’t stop after more than five minutes) this is NOT standard protocol and MOST seizures resolve with out transport to hospitals. They can follow up with their doctor and save themselves huge ambulance bills if people don’t call for them right away. Turn patient on left side and DON’T put anything in their mouth ?
