Trouble is, it's quite worrying to think of how creative some patients can be and just now, you could be receiving all manner of graphic emails.

Then I suggest filming any future episodes with a camera phone so I can see what's actually happening. It's a useful diagnostic tool, since the seizure is almost always over by the time I arrive, and may not actually be a seizure. Also, it keeps the owner at a safe distance from a potentially dangerous situation.Outridernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-73528486557227406802010-01-15T02:02:23.702-05:002010-01-15T02:02:23.702-05:00that heaven for modern technology ... even 5 years...that heaven for modern technology ... even 5 years ago this wouldn't have been possible ... the fact that it is possible, however, DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO DO IT ....Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506274310934059070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-30410802983795420482010-01-15T00:47:39.203-05:002010-01-15T00:47:39.203-05:00Maybe she didn't want you guys to think she wa...Maybe she didn't want you guys to think she was lying :) Although, you would have seen it once she walked in the office.
