Maybe those with seizures could wear t-shirts that say something
like, "I have epilepsy and post-ictal confusion. Transport at your
own expense." or "Do not transport unless you see blood." My daughter
and I have joked about this for a long time. Seems pointless to have
med alert jewelry if the paramedics just ignore it. She has post-
ictal confusion for a short period that gradually gets better, but it
is during that period that the paramedics are asking her questions.
Early on, she can't even speak! When she was away at college, each
transport cost over $700! And that doesn't count ER or any other
charges. I think the truth of the matter is that the paramedics and
fire departments are covering their own butts and protecting
themselves from any potential lawsuits by transporting just about
everyone they are called to see.
