- 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!!!!!
People having seizures should not be restrained like this. They should be put on their side and given space to breath and feel safe but held enough to ensure they are ok.
I had to be put in restraints to stop from scratching and harming myself ,attacking the nurses and ripping the iv out of my arm after recovering from multiple grand mal seizures
ShadowPrincess87…do you have epilepsy? Have you had seizures? I am a high risk epileptic and more than happy for them to restrain me like this should I have a seizure again (hopefully not).
It sounds like you have no idea what the hell you are talking about so please shut up.
I agree with you 100%
@@bradjohnson4190 if someone did this to me during my panic attacks, I'd probably go into a seizure. This alone in it's self is panic/seizure inducing.
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
A few words from me who is an epileptic. YALL ARE FUCKING FIRED AND REPORTED ON PATIENT ABUSE
That is so rude!
But it's true she is right to say that@@Dumskay
Yo watch your f*cking language you b*tch
@@Dumskaystop being so nice in a cruel world like this
@@Dumskayno its not
They seem very angry to me. I grunt like that when I'm angry, but I think they're not angry
They should never have done that I know it can cause serious personal injury and possible death!!🤕
😱
Exactly
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
Do Thay not realize the danger there putting that person in it's a life or death situation it's not a joke !!!!!
Kinda makes me mad seeing them straining her. 😡
It was very scary . I have cluster grand mal seizures also known as clinic tonic . This day I had 15 in a row. I was out of it and unconcious when they came. When I came to it I didn't know or remember that I had just had 15 seizures and I was scared and confused why these strange men were holding and tyeing me down . It was wrong and not right protocol for emts. They didn't know what to do with a seizure patient and I could have had more seizures on the ambulance and broken bones .
Yes it's absolutely disgusting
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!
This is ridiculous. Buckling for transport is one thing but restraining just because doesn’t make sense
The straps that they used is meant for psych patients and combative patients.
@@bdogg20101 yeah she was neither
I thought you were not supposed to restrain someone who is having a seizure? But, what do I know 🤔
Because your not I don’t know what they were thinking.
I think they are restraining her for transport so she doesn't go hitting her head and body on the stretcher and such
@@ashley-has-games9811 yes, but sadly they were medically incorrect . I had another seizure while I was restrained and I could of broken my bones... They were supposed to carry me in a medical blanket to transport me
@@Epilepsywarrior000 I'm sorry to hear that I hope your feeling better
I thought the same thing
that's messed up how they strapped you down and i would have said turn her on her side and I got your back
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.
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
I hope these ppl don’t call themselves medical professionals.
They do 😆 this is everything u are not supposed to do when someone has a seizure. They should have transported me with a medical blanket . I had seizures when I was restrained in the ambulance and I could have broken my bones . This is so unprofessional and scary that when u call medical assistance or 911 they can actually hurt u more than help u . Now my family and I are scared to call for help in fear they will make it worse .
Your not supposed to hold or restrain someone down that's having a seizure. You can cause more harm than good.
I mean are they supposed to do that? They are the paramedics ! I get very confused and concerned.
You could have had bones dislocated or broken, being restrained like that... crikey!
I hope you’re okay now though....

The other thing, that person might choke on saliva or mucus, if firmly strapped and placed on the back during a seizure.
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.
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.
I have Status Epilepticus so tell me, UA-cam 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!
I also have status epilectus and I had 16 seizures back to back this day each almost 2 minutes long. I had one in the ambulance and was restrained and almost broke my ankles when I had the seizure . I was also handcuffed by the police because they didn't believe it was seizures until I have one in front of them I sleep for a week after I have them
I had 11 tonic clonic seizures again December 19 and was transmitted to the hospital and had another seizure on ambulance but I wasn't restrained this time... They carries me by those medical blankets and put me on the gurney . Much better.
@@Epilepsywarrior000 Sucks, doesn't it? I have woke up in a hospital bed strapped down in a padded bed. I do better when they are non-convulsive but then the police think I am drunk, I even turn into a smart-a-s. Part of the problem is that while they are jerking me around, the clock is ticking. Status Epilepticus is epilepsy on steroids'. It is deadly and has already caused me brain damage.
I know everything you are experiencing . We have the same type of epilepsy. Mine is in me left temporal lobe and started in 2017 after a head Injury. I wake up in the hospital very combative because I have no idea I just had 11 seizures and there are all the weird new people around me and then ivs all over me. This time I checked out against medical orders but I don't remember any of it . I have woken up in the hospital and not remembered family members or even myself . Or has effected my memory as well . They just upped my medicine to 400 mg lamictal . I went almost a year seizure free but a week before it would have been a year I had the 11 seizures . It's not cool cops and emts and some medical staff don't know how to treat epilepsy patients and misunderstand them
@@Epilepsywarrior000 It's good to talk to someone who understands.
Yo is it just me or do yall think she has no underwear on???😮
Heads up - Your comments are turned off on your recent video... so no one can comment like you’ve asked them to...
Reported.
I'm confused. Why would you ever want to restrain a seizure patient?
Coming from an EMT, several (although not ideal):
- Patient was combative before seizures were induced (such as this video).
- Properly securing the patient for transport on the stretcher.
- Keep head & body away from objects or potentially falling off the cot.
Of course, it’s unclear whether what they were doing was against their standards of care without further context. It’s always important for prehospital medical professionals to follow their local protocols. Regardless, the video, by itself, still looks pretty bad.
@@austinlinco I see. Thank you for the wonderful explanation! 😊
