About 12 years ago, my wife and I were doing some Christmas shopping and were in Walmart. I got this strange feeling and simultaneously heard something fall. I turned around and saw a someone on the floor. I ran toward this individual and my hunch was right, a young man was having a seizure ( I also have a seizure disorder and there definitely is a bond between us. Epilepsy is known as God’s disease.)
Anyway, I got to this young man and I removed my jacket and placed it under his head so he wouldn’t harm himself. I directed a bystander to call 911 and another to go toward the front door to guide first responders to the scene.
While awaiting EMS, I comforted the young man by speaking to him gently and touching his arm. Eventually help arrived and I explained what I witnessed.
A few minutes later, the patient awoke and was taken to the hospital. We all help in whichever way we can. Thank you.
