I am planning to abandon this blog, like my previous post, I thought that was it - the end. But I am now stuck in a McD, afraid to get out and get into my car because I yelled at the guy who queued behind me tadi. He was too close behind, I could feel his breathe behind my neck. After the fourth deliberate push at my extra large dump-in hobo, I had to ask him to take two steps back and he got pissed. So a bit of a drama took place at counter 3 just now. :P
Lesson Number 1: Leave sufficient breathing space between you and the person in front. Don't touch or push the person in front of you, apologise if you do.
Anyways, I was out for a movie with a friend last night. Just as we entered the mall from the parking area, I saw a guy collapsed near the autopay machine. I knew right away he was having seizures. The wife called out for help and his kids started to cry. Everybody panicked.
A guy and two girls helped to hold him down. They put a car key in his mouth before I could say anything and then there was blood.
I know the three good samaritans meant well when they held him down (they might not want him to trash around and against the wall) and put the key in his mouth to prevent him from biting his own tounge, but they were doing it wrong.
Lesson Number 2: Do not put anything in the mouth of the person who is having the seizure. "Contrary to popular belief, a person having a seizure is incapable of swallowing their tongue so you can breathe easy in the knowledge that you do not have to stick your fingers or put anything in the mouth of someone in this condition".
There is no specific first aid measures when encountering epilepsy; the only thing you need to do is stay calm and call the ambulance right away in case it lasts more than 5 minutes.
I just hope that the poor man didn't bite his tounge off. I felt sorry for his wife who was like, clueless on how to deal with her husband's seizure. I mean, that could not be the first time it happened, could it? Even if it was the first time it happened before her, I hope she learnt her lesson and learn on how to handle the situation.
My prosperity burger's getting cold. :(
The table cleaner liquid smells funny like erni. :P
I think the idiot should be gone by now. Maybe I'd better make a move now. *scans place, runs to car*
