Patients don’t fall forward or have convulsive movements when fainting, they use themselves to the ground.
They had her leaning against the post. The van arrives. They try to move her forward but her legs are locked up completely. Then they realize they have to help her forward. She still falls forward as she had no control over her legs.
She might have been conscious but just didn’t have control over her body. Tough to tell.
New Yorker had a cartoon with the Weekend at Bernie’s joke. Daily Show making fun of her. She’s losing her minions.
