My second career is as a pediatric outpatient nurse. My #1 patient is a seizure prone 17yr old. Getting attention in the first minute or two is critical. Valtoco is a nasal spray that stops most seizures instantly. One dose up each nostril. As an ER physician he would know this and if the deputies had not been such tools, he would probably could have made sure of her safety and had the deputies contact her parents to find out if she had had prior seizures and was on any meds. I’ve never heard of law enforcement handcuffing docs except in larger city ER’s where the doc’s and nurses want to see a searh warrant before taking samples from a patient. Crazy , just Crazy
Back the blue, till it happens to you. Many (not all) cops are like this. Did you see, some idiot cop (Utah) grabbed hold of a nurse, who refused to draw blood 🩸from an unconscious victim, with no warrant, who I think later on died anyway. The cop got fired, and the nurse won a ton of money in the lawsuit.
18 years ago in Panama City Beach I watched a fellow in a Z71 immobile Beach traffic suddenly floorboard the accelerator with the wheels turned to the right. He sailed through a faux masonry wall and dropped into a small deep lake. Two just-out-of-Afghanistan vets and their local fireman friend who were walking by chased the truck on foot and had the driver out of the cab as the roof of the truck went below the surface. I, the security guard for the condo got there a few seconds later. The boys were giving the driver CPR but other than being unconscious he seemed to be ok. When I got to him I smelled something like almost alcohol and knew immediately that he had had a seizure because I had had seizures for 6 years after a head injury and had experienced it all and heard all the explanations. The police arrived and wanted to arrest him for drunk and was ordering the saviours away from him when I told the cop that he had had a seizure and needed to go to the hospital and preventing that would bring lawyers and bad headlines. The cop was having none of it. He wanted the Arrest. Then a condo guest ran over and identified herself and confirmed that it was a seizure. The fireman had called an ambulance that got there and the EMTs took over and took the fellow away from the cop and carried him to the ER. I had also confronted an arriving TV reporter who had some knowledge about seizures and who yelled at the cop.
