Doctor's Bench

Witnessing a convulsion can be quite scary and confusing for you but remember what we talked about in the previous article. Having a convulsion does not necessarily mean that that person needs to be rushed to hospital. So I’ll share...

Have you ever witnessed someone having a seizure? The first time I saw a convulsion, I was very young, and the experience left a lasting impression. A distant relative collapsed suddenly, his body jerking uncontrollably, while my mother remained calm and handled the situation with remarkable composure. Later, I realized that our community misunderstood his condition—many believed he was cursed. Now, as a medical student, I see how much misinformation surrounds epilepsy. Like mental illness, it carries stigma that isolates those affected.
