See someone that has the condition to go about it, I'm glad that is in effect now, I've seen it in maybe a show but not on tv and letting people know about what they should do or go about someone having a seizure.

Speaking of TV, that's where I got the idea of having surgery. It was on Discovery Health Channel. I get a call from my mother-in-law to watch it. I watch every step of the surgery. I looked at my wife and she knew I wanted it and needed it. This all led to 24 seizure-free years. I've never seen this episode on TV ever since I saw it the first time. I'm very lucky!

I watched Documentary shows with a Real Dr. / Epilepsy Specialists . They will share their knowledge and he / she may talk about topics on Epilepsy and the many related subjects .

There have been shows like ER and other Hospital TV dramas , that I’ve seen and they did a horrible job acting out a person with Epilepsy.

When I was married to My first Husband, We were in line for an Elton John concert. The person in front of Us all of a sudden had a seizure. I never saw one and I got upset because I have Epilepsy! We didn’t go to the concert because I was very upset 😢. Now, I see another person having a seizure and help Them 💜

I haven’t seen it yet but I hope others do. I contacted my local RCMP after reading about a few ppl who were treated badly by police after having a seizure and they came out of it swinging like I do. So now if I have to have the ambulance or whatever here they always send an officer over to make sure someone can calm me down and I don’t have another seizure or hurt someone. So I’m glad I let them know, it’s helped me out a couple times

It's great to see increased awareness and education about epilepsy on TV recently. This will help people better understand the condition, know what to do if they witness a seizure, and reduce stigma. The more informed and supportive society is, the better for those living with epilepsy. Seeing celebrities and public figures openly discuss their epilepsy can make a big difference as well. It helps inspire confidence in others with the condition to be more open. And it spreads awareness that anyone can have epilepsy - it doesn't define who someone is. More representation and destigmatization is key.
