Mrs. Call: "My husband is having a seizure. He sees Dr. Nerve for epilepsy."
Dr. Grumpy: "Okay, do you have a medication to give him for seizures?"
Mrs. Call: "It's in the bathroom. Can't I just hold the phone next to him and you tell him to stop?"
Dr. Grumpy: "Okay Mrs. Call, change of plans. Hang up the phone and find a heavy item. Hit yourself in the head repeatedly with said item. Once you've knocked some sense into yourself, you may stop hitting yourself and proceed to the bathroom to get your husband's seizure medication."
