Education about Epilepy and Seizures is very important. Most people do not understand the disease and what we do not understand, we sometimes are affraid of. It is important to know what to do in any emergency situation. We have CPR classes, fire drills, etc. But what would you do if someone at a restaurant, grocery store or church had a seizure? Would you know what to do?
Most importantly, have someone call 911 and then assist the person seizing. The main goal is to keep them from getting hurt during the seizure. Try to turn them on their side and wait for them to stop seizing.
