holding down and restraining a seizure patient

this is a video of the firemen and emt.. strapping me down to a gurney and tying me up with handcuffs on the gurney after having 25 seizures because I was out of out and confused and scared after I woke up not realizing I had just had a seizure the staff obviously didn't know how to handle a seizure patient and treated me like I was dirt and like I did something wrong. I told my boyfriend and family to never ever call an ambulance again. I'd rather them drive me then ever have to wake up in an ambulance tied down scared handcuffed to the gurney treating me like I did something wrong when all I needed was help for being sick. I hope this never happens to someone you love. they should learn the number one rule of dealing with a seizure patient NEVER EVER RESTRAIN SOMEONE WHO JUST HAD A SEIZURE!!!!!

On top of the patient being restrained when she shouldn’t be why did they video this and upload it to the internet? Also I can almost see her privates too! Just imagine if someone posted you going through a hard time in your life and your hoo haah is showing! I feel so bad for this poor woman I hope she gets justice for what they did to her!

Yeah if someone has a seizure you're meant to keep them calm and not restrain the-most leave them be and if need be put them in the recovery position afterwards.

Hope this person is okay

Oh hell no! As a WIFE of a epileptic husband and been told by MANY DOCTORS "NEUROLOGISTS" NOT to restrain him while hes seizing! That could cause them more harm! Police have done that to him in the past and caused him to tear his rotator cuffs and hed wake up in a jail cell with charges on disturbing the peace! This is just sickening! Restrain my husband and im going to catch some charges! 😭

A few words from me who is an epileptic. YALL ARE FUCKING FIRED AND REPORTED ON PATIENT ABUSE

[binkybunnysway]

Omg ive never seen anything like this in my life. To be made to feel like this is wrong not to mention dangerous to tie you down like that. Sorry you experienced this

[sophieamarant]

This is ridiculous. Buckling for transport is one thing but restraining just because doesn’t make sense

[princessminecraft]

I thought you were not supposed to restrain someone who is having a seizure? But, what do I know 🤔

[bernadinekeegan]

You are not to restrain the person having a seizure' your just to stay with the person and make sure there is nothing beside them that could hurt them !!!! I have epilepsy all my life had surgery done i'am now 63 year's of age you do more harm than good when you restrain the person so who ever is doing that video is not helping that person your leveing them worce and putting there life in danger

[bdogg]

Your not supposed to hold or restrain someone down that's having a seizure. You can cause more harm than good.

[HerLegacyVisionary]

I would be scared as hell not know whats going in or why in being strapped down

[wadeporter]

They should never have done that I know it can cause serious personal injury and possible death!!🤕

[skypie]

Kinda makes me mad seeing them straining her. 😡

[haydenthenerfdude]

that's messed up how they strapped you down and i would have said turn her on her side and I got your back

[Samo-]

That is very rong ya shud neva restrain som1 who is havin a seizure as it cud make them brake ther bones, etc. Am shoked thy wud actully do that thy need seizure trainin coz it seemz like thy have non.

[bdogg]

Your supposed to keep them calm and move any dangerous objects away from them. And never stick anything in their mouth like a bite block.

I have Status Epilepticus so tell me, YouTube doctors: How can I be transported to the hospital when my seizures last for hours and I'm going to have brain damage? I MUST be restrained!

[LittleCutieABDL]

Absolutely disgraceful. They deserve jail time. Also because that they have done this to me in physical rehab after being in a induced coma for status epilepticus and i was restrained to a bed or chair or against a wall for 24 hours non stop i couldn't even turn in bed to be comfortable and sleep. Lots of pressure sores. Don't ever ever! do this to someone with epilepsy.

[brandosdot]

i have seizures and i am an emt. sounds weird i know right. but you were being restrained with seizure pads…we are required todo that on a bed or stretcher so you don’t break your skull or arms or such…only complaint i have is they needed to get you moved a lot quicker.

[robineriksen]

I hope these ppl don’t call themselves medical professionals.

[annecohen]

I mean are they supposed to do that? They are the paramedics ! I get very confused and concerned.
