As a mom of an epileptic, yours is the post with reason.

My (14 yr old) daughter has not had a seizure in 4 years, but the neurologist has warned us that lots of kids seizures return during college because they are not sleeping enough, stressed out, drinking, and in general not taking care of themselves.

It’s no reason for the young lady to be kicked out of class unless she has uncontrollable seizures. I don’t think she’d be in college with uncontrollable seizures.

Yep, it's one of those conditions that you just have to learn to be disciplined and careful about, especially in college. One of my kids has killer migraines, and she had to learn to take her meds the very second the aura began, then the headache would never really get revved up. You only forget that once, maybe twice, even in college . . . !

But having a seizure is no reason to kick this kid out of class. Nothing in the story says that she was anywhere near working as an EMT -- just that she was taking a course. Might have been an elective, even.

A lot of people here are reasoning way ahead of the data.
