What do you do if an Epileptic was having a fit in the bath?

Question

Someone said just sling-in some washing.

It don't make sense to me.

Answer 1

Oh you are just so funny

SARCASM ALERT!

Answer 2

lift them out of the bath or at least let the water out. ensure their head does not go under the water & that their airway is clear. keep them warm with a towel & stay with them till the seizure stops.  Then help them to bed.  If the seizure is very long contact a doctor / ambulance

Answer 3

Pull the plug - ALWAYS!

Answer 4

MY SON HAS EPILEPSY AND NEARLY DROWNED IN THE BATH AND I HAD TO BREAK THE DOOR IN TO DRAG HIM OUT,HE SPENT SEVEN DAYS IN HOSPITAL DUE TO THE EFFECTS OF DROWNING,He now has a responsible job with one of the big banks,if you need a cheap laugh please refer to your own misfortunes.

Answer 5

You must be a very lonely person.

Answer 6

well I found that rather amusing and both my daughter and myself are epileptics infact i know some even better ones(jokes). If you were asking a serious question let out the water and keep warm try to prevent head injury.Do NOT put anything into the mouth and do NOT restrict limbs as the contracting muscles are quite able to break bones without any help.The bath is a safe place to have a siezure as there are no sharp objects, just let the water out.I do think you should buy some childrens joke books as yours are rather old ones.

Answer 7

Drain the water and keep them low in the bath so they don't stand up, slip and fall.

Answer 8

Thats just cruel. I think i'd let d plug go so they don't accidently drown.

But not sure what is best? Not delt with epilectic's before

Answer 9

Answer 11

It's a joke, because it would (apparently) be similar to a washing machine. It's worthy of a chuckle, I must admit. And don't forget the detergant and softener.

In all seriousness, pull the plug on the bath so they at least don't drown.
