Sue-
I am very distressed to read all of this. I hope you are doing better soon. And that those people at the clinic get roasted over an open fire!
It is horrible to see that even the medical community is so poorly educated about epilepsy. It is bad enough dealing with the general ignorance by a good deal of people, but it frustrates me more when doctors or nurses are ignorant about the condition. I don't expect experts, but I do expect them to know the general first-aid procedures for when someone is having a seizure and being able to recognize a GM.
Hugs to you...
