I always remember seizures are scary. I don't see how I could possibly
forget if they hit every couple weeks.

Not "probably", obviously. Whoever called was moving at 40 mph relative to
the card. A bunch of 911 calls came in, but when the EMTs arrived I was
still alone lying by the side of the road. Isn't life so convenient nowadays
with cellphones? I wonder if they texted it.

I came to (not 100% "with it" as the phone call later would show, but still)
as they were loading me into the ambulance. But I wasn't implying they did
anything incorrectly anyway; EMTs have to follow the rules just like
everyone else and at a time when the insurance ramifications aren't clear.
But those are the rules- if we take you home AMA, the ambulance ride costs
more than triple. I wasn't able to do the financial calculations correctly
in my head, on the spot, immediately after recovering from a seizure, while
strapped to a piece of wood. I wish I had told them to take me home.

It ended up being $1500 after insurance. I think it's the most expensive
bike ride I've ever taken.
Anyway, that's the only story I can tell you where I knew for sure that the
bracelet and the card were read by somebody.
