Replying to @tarhealer
I’d guess most don’t “wait” the 5 minutes. Once they have recognized the seizure and grabbed the rescue med, many of the seizures have probably stopped naturally. Those that haven’t probably get the rescue in most cases.

Dad has dementia. Sometimes he drifts into another world and I feel like I’m losing him. He is never more present, however, than when he plays the piano. He came to mine today and I asked him to play one of his compositions. He thought he wouldn’t be able to remember it.

Man's best friend. Elderly man out walking his dog last night near Portarlington fell into the ditch & couldn’t get out. Jack the Dog stayed by his side & showed Gardaí where he was. Even when ambulance arrived Jack wouldn’t rest unless he could see him! Owner and Jack home now
