Help for students

I am currently an Undergrad at UC Davis. The best things my bosses/teachers can do when I am in school/work? 1.Call 911 when I am having a large seizure2. Be understanding when I can't make it to class because I am in the E.R. 3. Please don't give me classes/shifts when the busses do not run. :) Those are the main things. I give all of my teachers "the talk"( what do my seizures look like, what to do). Overall, it kind of depends on the frequency and severity of the seizures that the student experiences. The disability office at UC Davis has been really nice, looks like you guys are too. 

I have Epilepsy, have worked i the healthcare field for over 15 years including flight and other critical care areas.   I am currently in Medical school as well.  There are challenges.  As mentioned below there really isn't anything to fear.  Usually us epileptics know most of our triggers etc.   I know for me when I started medical school it was a completely different type of stressor than working in the career field its self.  I ended up going through a medication change during my first year.  It was disastrous.  I was very up front with my professors.  Ironically I got penalized for it in the long run which was wrong on their part.  There were days that you have some short term memory loss depending on your medication change while you are learning things.  We are usually aware of this and may need a second round of explanations to catch up.The fact that you came on here to ask your questions shows that you are already heading in the right direction.  Most healthcare careers have laws and rules in place as far as patient care goes.  Make sure they know what the are before engaging. Hopefully you have some one who has their seizures under control.  As was also mentioned we have doctors appointments we absolutely need to go to so just make sure logistics are in place.  Good luck to you!
