1/3

Taken by ambulance to ER after a seizure. Given meds in ambulance to prevent another.

ER doctor tells my Husband I& #39;m a drug addict and I don& #39;t deserve the bed I& #39;m in.

Tells him to go home and my stash will probably be in a wall. Literal words. +++

He& #39;s loudly removed from my case. 2nd Doctor is checking my vitals when I jolt up, scream, it& #39;s happening again, and have a 50 min seizure.

I& #39;m placed in a coma for 4 days to stop the seizure. I& #39;m given grave odds to survive.

Turns out that 25 yrs +

3/3 before Dr& #39;s who also didn& #39;t listen and gave me a bipolar dx, were wrong. I& #39;m Autistic, and Epilepsy is a co-occurring condition.

Not a drug addict. A neurodivergent epileptic whose life was stolen from them because of attitudes like the viral video that sparked all of this.
