I sometimes pass out and have seizures as well - about six times in my life - usually brought about by nausea (vaso vagal syncope) so I have a great deal of sympathy for Channing.

But I am not sure I want an EMT subject to seizures.

Not if they are frequent or brought about by situations that one might frequently encounter as an EMT (flashing lights, blood and guts, etc).

I don’t want EMT’s that cant handle a simple medical event.
She was in a classroom of folks who should be able to cope.

Why didn’t they tell the truth then, that while this probably wouldn’t unduly inconvenience the class (hey, she could serve as another emergency patient for them to practice on) they believe it might be an unwise career for her.
