My daughter was found in the middle of the night, unconscious and seizing on her kitchen floor.

She's 28 years old, not a child. She was taken to the local hospital where they did a CT scan and informed her that she didn’t have a seizure because if she had, she would have wet her pants. Now mind you, she’s not a lady who holds her tongue, but she felt like a train and ran her down and had no fight in her.

How should this be dealt with after the fact?

Se have a family history of Epilepsy. We all know what it looks like. How can a medical professional say something like this?

not all doctor are good. I have seen so many mistakes made by doctors. I also had one look up what i was saying on wikipedia and then go " oh, you're right" . one doctor wanted to give me prozac when when i had was actually hypoglycemia, all symptoms of depression dissapeared when i stopped eating sugar and reduced my carbohydrate intake. I told the doctor that I observed that these symptoms appeared when I skipped meals or ate sugar. she answer " I think its depression, here's a prescrition for prozac" .

@reflectingmonkey I know they all are not, and ER doctors are especially under a lot of pressure. one of my favorite moments in the ER was with my mom, and my sister in law who is a nurse was with us. She corrected the doctor over and over and over again until he finally got up and walked out of the room. Im not sure who's arrogance entertained me more. It was a beautiful time and my mom got the care she needed. But I would never ask her to do anything for my daughter or me, because again, arrogance and family stuff.
I really just want her to get the care she deserves. It shouldn't be this hard.
