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?

You know that comment the doctor made about she couldn't have had a seizure and the reason he gave is the dumbest I've ever heard. How dare him. He has no common sense at all to say such a thing or even to believe such a thing, especially calling himself a doctor. This is what I'm wondering as well. How in the world could someone who calls himself a professional and even a doctor at that, say something so stupid? I see now that you wrote this 5 months ago. So how has this all turned out? He has no business being a doctor. How is your daughter doing now?

@LadyGrace My daughter’s pediatrician said the exact same thing. I told him that I had many seizures till I was 4 years old and had never wet my pants. I had been diagnosed by a pediatric neurologist in Kansas City. They must be teaching these doctors that a person has to wet their pants or it’s not a real seizure. There are many types of seizures. I and my daughter had grand mal seizures. But my daughter could also have petite mal seizures where she didn’t actually pass out and thrash around on the floor, her face would feel numb and she would see a green color and wouldn’t be able to talk for a few minutes.
@cherokeepatti I too have had seizures. Isn't that the most stupid thing you've ever heard a doctor say? He doesn't even deserve to have a license. This really burns me up. You go for help and in need of comfort and this Joker considers you a liar. Furious! My God! How is your daughter doing now? Is she okay?

@LadyGrace I believe the doctors are being taught this. And then the neurologist sees the abnormal EEG readings and understands. It is the pediatricians thinking that the parents are hysterical. Well what the hell are parents supposed to think when they see this happen to a child for the first time. Anyone would get scared.

@LadyGrace yes she is, she had a lot of stress with her father and I had to go to court for that and eventually she got weaned off the medication when she was 17.
