Bob, before you ask, the answer's no.

One of the benefits of being epileptic is that it is 'compulsory' wherever possible to make sure you bath or shower with a friend!

Great chat up line that I have used in the past! Not saying how often it has worked!!

Pets are often considered another member of the family and owners can relax knowing they are being cared for.

I had a client rush in with his dog once saying "I've jsut rolled my car. Can you please check my dog while I take my girlfriend to the hospital". Not sure the girlfriend would have appreciated the dog getting treatment before her......

On a sober note, we've discussed this. My receptionist is still embarrassed for giving the client the " we've been waiting for you ...." speech, my colleague who saw the moribund Degu, and euthanased him, was concerned about the client walking home, gave her the usual BRITISH response of a cup of tea and helped her call her daughter for a lift, because the client couldn't press the buttons on her mobile in the right order.

We have experience in the practice of collapse with sort of heart attack and impending delivery as mentioned, but this is new and the first aiders aren't even very sure about the not quite life threatening thing - except the cup of tea of course.

Sorry for speed posting. Having read Aine's remarks I must say I'm very sorry about what I wrote in case she didn't drive but walk! I was making assumptions maybe because someone I know (a known epileptic) just had a seizure while driving, fortunately nobody including himself was hurt.

You know the first thing that sprang to my mind reading this was I wish she hadn't gotten behind the steering wheel in this condition! I know what you wanted to say, but for the sake of a degu that's likely to die anyway? She was certainly not fit to drive, had she hit me or my kids I wouldn't have called her amazing.... Just my two cents....

and the degu?? What happened to it? Plus one presumes she walked down not drove or can one get a licence to drive there if epileptic?? here not allowed. Also advised not to have baths and never shower alone- all these things I learnt from a client some weeks ago who had been epileptic for years, non responding to meds, last year he truthfully walked out in front of a bus!! .They took him into hospital 10mths ago, scanned brain then deactivated a hot zone -he has been seizure free since- and has found this cheeky personality which loves to tell us all the little things he now gets to enjoy- like going in a swimming pool or bath tub or showering alone(...!) which has us all in stitches- he used to be so quiet and subdued on his meds and the exhaustion of the daily seizures now this very dry and very very quick wit comes out- its a joy to see.
