What dumbasses those medic people were...

Youre also supposed to put something in his mouth so that he doesnt bite his tongue off and/or swallow it.

Well a seizure, depending on the strength, can also involve extreme uncontroled muscle spasms.

Guidelines for helping someone having a seizure:

1. Help the person lie down as soon as possible.

2. Look for a medical alert bracelet, pendant, or wallet card.

3. If a medical alert ID or other documentation indicating that the person has epilepsy cannot be located, call an ambulance.

4. If the person is pregnant or diabetic, call an ambulance.

5. Turn the person onto one side and put a soft object (e.g., pillow, sweater, jacket) under their head. Lying on the side allows secretions to drain from the mouth; prevents the inhalation of secretions; and allows the tongue to fall forward, keeping the airway open. Do not try to hold the tongue.

6. Do not put anything into the person's mouth. During the initial phase of a generalized tonic-clonic seizure, the jaw muscles tighten and it is impossible to open the mouth. Forcing an object into the mouth can damage the jaw or teeth.

7. Loosen ties and collars.

8. Remove harmful objects from the immediate area.

9. Do not restrain the person in any way. Restraining while the person is rigid or having convulsions may cause broken bones or bruising. Restraining someone having a complex partial seizure may provoke them into aggressive behavior.

10. Remain with the person until they are completely aware of who they are and their environment, stay calm, and offer reassurance to the person and to bystanders.

Someone having a complex partial seizure may wander or look confused but does not require first aid. It is helpful to calmly and gently guide the person away from harmful objects or situations. Do not attempt to restrain the person.

First aid is not necessary for someone having an absence seizure . They experience a temporary lapse in alertness and need monitoring to ensure their safety.







I don't think youre suppose to put anything in their mouth at all. I searched real quick for it and can't find reliable sources, but from what I remember (could be wrong), its a no no

Pay attention to the fact that the muscles will contact and lock the jaw, imagine how much pressure is exerted when that jaw contracts and closes the mouth. If it happens on the tongue, he will bite his tongue off.

that thing I pasted mentions if the jaw is already tensed you could damage it by trying to place something in the mouth.

I've been taught this in multiple first aid courses.

When the seizure first hits the jaw clamps shut, if the tongue is in the way its gonna go right then. However once you go "oh shit, he's having a seizure, wtf do i do wtf do i do, oh thats right, jaw, tongue, teeth, put somehting between them, fuck, what, remote control that'll do", the jaw is already well clamped and trying to put somehting between the teeth will only damage the teeth further. Once the jaw closes, she dun't open until the seizure passes, so there is no point trying to put somehting between the teeth.
