When your patient has accidents
Determine if your patient needs to avoid lifestyle, occupational, and recreational activities
Seizures can happen at any time, causing you to seriously injure yourself or someone you love. You mentioned you are still [high-risk activity]. We discussed that was not safe while you are still having seizures.
I’m fine. I only have a seizure once a month, and I really love [high-risk activity]. Don’t take that away from me too.
I can only imagine how difficult it is for you to think about making these adjustments. No two patients are the same, but I do have experience working with many patients to find the best ways to stay safe. Let’s talk about ways you can maintain your independence while protecting yourself and the people around you from serious injury.
