Seize The Day, And The Planet!
Bizarre, Hospital, New York, Patients, USA, Weather | Healthy | July 26, 2019
(I am in a hospital being treated for epilepsy. We have a button to push if we think we’ve had a seizure.)
Nurse: *to me* “You pushed the button, sir?”
Me: “Yeah, it felt like I had a tonic-clonic seizure, only I was awake and fully conscious when I was shaking so that shouldn’t be possible.”
Nurse: “You felt that shaking, too?”
Me: “Pardon?”
Nurse: “You didn’t have a seizure. I think there was an earthquake.”
(Note that earthquakes are very uncommon both where I live and where the hospital is, and this is the first time I have ever experienced one.)
Me: “Oh, okay. I wonder how many other people in this ward thought what I did?”
