Whenever we go out together, I know it's always a possibility. But I'm used to it for the most part and know how to handle the situation depending upon the severity of the seizure. <BR/><BR/>I never thought about your perspective. Of the doctor who might be watching and wondering if we're okay or if she needs to lend a helping hand.Lisa Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08096947438461486505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628616877664827988.post-43876920389144446082008-08-22T09:25:00.000-04:002008-08-22T09:25:00.000-04:00I don't feel guilty; just very sad. I don't think ...I don't feel guilty; just very sad. I don't think it would have been appropriate for a stranger, even a bystander who was a trained professional, to just swoop in and interfere in that setting when the situation was well under control and being managed appropriately. But I did feel sad.<BR/><BR/>It's hard to restrain that strong impulse to "take over" that is perfectly understandable and appropriate in a hospital setting. In the field, though, there are other important variables to take into account, and I didn't feel it would be right to just muscle in and act like the general if I wasn't really needed.T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09208990104460795917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628616877664827988.post-27865774274945252282008-08-22T03:55:00.000-04:002008-08-22T03:55:00.000-04:00Hi, i suppose its no different from being in the h...Hi, i suppose its no different from being in the hospital and passing a code or arrest which you werent called to, just think of the family members being paged while you merely walked by the situation.<BR/>Chin up and remember you save countless lives everyday,youve no reason for guiltAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
