I had a cousin die of this. His seizure was in an arcade and a doctor who was also in the arcade could do nothing to save him.

This phenomena is well enough known that the studio has no excuse or defense should anyone suffer the same fate as your cousin.

For that mater, The Andromeda Strain used it as a plot device.

(sorry to hear about your cousin)
