Seizures on the Beach - Scary Moments for Lifeguards

[@BondiRescue]

Seems like anything can happen down at Bondi. Lifeguards have to be prepared for anything and always ready to act! (Check out some of their best rescues here - kzbin.info/aero/PL0Xa58krD0jXcnNCuNWTGCOQEw0jRgNx4)

Ten year paramedic here. Those lifeguards are doing everything right for what they're able to do. Keeping their patients calm, getting them into a recovery position when needed, calling for more advanced help quickly. They're doing a great job setting up the patients for when the paramedics arrive. Seizures can be intimidating, especially if one is not prepared for them or had a lot of experience responding to them but there were able to handle things well in these clips. Good onya mates.

Speaking is actually one of the "higher" functions of the brain, meaning it's one of the first things to fail when someone falls ill. I.e. diabetics, drunks, brain bleeds: all of them get slurred speech. Sometimes someone has an active stroke, but another person might think they're drunk. That's why you ALWAYS double check.

It's honestly hard not to, you open your eyes and people or a person is looking at you with this concerned look and all you can feel is guilt, especially if it's a loved one. I've sobbed a lot after my post state because my girlfriend looked so scared and its like, "I did this..." Even though I obviously dont mean to, plus stress is a large trigger and it's hard not to be constantly afraid you'll just fall out. You just like wake up but your eyes are already open and you become aware of someone talking to you and you're just thinking you were asleep or something but your body feels like crap.

[@yesplatinum7956]

I remember the first time I had a seizure was at my friends’ house and my friend was so scared she even started crying which ig is understandable but my point is that it’s usually more scary for the person seeing the seizure than the one experiencing it because you can’t really do anything to help you just have to wait

At least she had family there who seemed worried but not too concerned. They might have been aware of why she was fitting and didn’t see a reason to go to the hospital because it was an easy fix.

So there I was, girl in her mid 20's, not dressed for clubbing in a major party area, but swaying, slurring my speech and vomiting. Everyone thought I was either drunk or on drugs and, as I'd bitten my tongue pretty badly, I was lisping which made speech even more difficult. Tried to explain to people I'd had a seizure, even to bouncers at hotels (one of whom told me to F%$# off), not one person helped me. I had a second seizure at the hospital after I got there.

Answer: By believing on Jesus Christ who took the punishment for our sin on the cross. There are no amount of good works we can do to achieve salvation because salvation is a free gift of God. We need to humble ourselves, realize we are sinners and that we need a savior.

i get seizures a lot, (more frequently when I was younger) and they're scary, for me as well sometimes. my advice if you see someone seizing/fitting, you should try and stay calm,put something soft under their head so they don't slam it into the ground (I've done this, it hurts a lot) and make sure that if they throw up, you empty their mouth so they can't choke on it. you can turn a person onto their side to do this - don't put anything into their mouths. and don't worry about them swallowing their tongue - it's physically impossible to do so

[@baileypaliolonga5620]

Solid advice!!! I have seen many seizures, and there really isn’t much you can do other than make sure the person doesn’t hit their head, and make sure their airway remains clear... Otherwise you just have to leave them alone...

I can’t speak for others but from my own experience, they sometimes can hear what you’re saying so when you talk to them calmly it can make getting out of that seizure ( which can be stressful and disorienting) much less scary and confusing.

I have seizures, like full grand mal where I shake on the floor, but if I take my medicine regularly, and eat and sleep regularly I’m fine. When I feel a seizure coming on first I feel panic and confusion so I often try to find someone cuz I’m scared. Then I feel my head being pulled the the right and my body starts to follow, like I can’t control my head and eyes, then I just go into a full seizure. When I wake up it takes me about 15 minutes to understand what’s going on again and I repeat questions a lot. I understand the girl who didn’t want to go to hospital tho cuz once I literally fell down stairs while having a seizure (I ended up with HORRIBLE black eyes I couldn’t see, and bad head trauma) and my mom took me to the ER. I was very reluctant firstly cuz I was still out of it, secondly cuz I thought “I’ve had seizures before. I’m okay”. I went to the hospital and had two more grand mal seizures while there. They put in an IV and when I started having my seizure would administer a calming drug. Scary for sure but hopefully this helps someone.

Which came fast and everything turned out okay at the end, but I'm still quite embarrassed of how I went into shock mode. 😳 I should add it was a colleague from psychology rehab in a sheltered workshop and I was also a patient. So this was obviously a strange mix of coping and "help him" mechanism. And I really can't say how I would react today. And I did react very differently when my dad and I were in Australia in 2018 and he had a medical emergency, there I had a case of like not being myself at all but knowing exactly what to do in the right order right away.
