Today, I had RA training and we were doing mock situations. During one of these, I had a seizure. Everyone thought it was fake, until I started violently throwing up. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I'm recovering from an emergency room visit. I was vomiting, sweating, shaking, crying, and couldn't even speak properly. I was scared of that, and scared of hospitals after a routine surgery nearly killed me two years ago. Most of my family are convinced I was faking all of it. FML
Today, my 13 year-old son had a seizure in the middle of his history class. We were at the hospital for three hours and several expensive tests later he informed me he faked the seizure so he could get out of a group presentation. He was so proud that he was such a good actor. FML
Today, I was taking an important exam for Calculus. Out of nowhere, the kid behind me starts violently kicking my desk. I quickly turn around and yell at him. He was having a seizure. FML
Today, I was working as a lifeguard. A woman began to have a seizure. Nervous, I went into shock and walked into a tree, knocking myself out. Post seizure, the woman stood up and walked away. Later, I woke up in the hospital. The ambulance had arrived to take her, but ended up taking me instead. FML
Today, I had a seizure in class. Being an epileptic, I had warned my professor of the possibility that I could have one in class. She was understanding and seemed very concerned about my issue at the time. After I had the seizure, however, she asked me if I had ever tried exorcism. FML
Today, during gym class, my teacher insisted that everyone should relieve some stress by throwing a basketball at the wall. I wound up and hurled the thing at the wall, it bounced back and hit me in the stomach. I began to vomit uncontrollably. Even my teacher laughed. FML
Today, I had to take an oral examination. I made it to the last part of the exam, then violently threw up in the middle of my answer. FML
Today, I had a seizure at work. My boss walked by and saw me, but didn't help or do anything because he thought I was "picking something up off the floor." FML
Today, I went to a first aid training course. I had to lie on the floor and pretend I was unconscious. We were supposed to be doing the recovery position, but the guy I was working with decided to perform CPR instead and grope my boobs in the process. FML
Today, at work, where I am the boss’s son, I introduced myself to the new guy and starting working on a project. Not five minutes into it, I apparently had a seizure, passed out, smashed my face on the work table, and regained consciousness in a state of confusion with EMTs surrounding me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's terrible, but they must have thought you were a great actor for a few seconds.

Really? People think just because you're shaking violently, eyes rolled to the back of your head and possibly froth at the mouth, you're faking it to the point of vomiting? Smh, fyl OP at least you're better now

Maybe they thought he was just that much of a committed actor.

I understand completely! I have epilepsy as well so I know you understand it's a hard thing to deal with and can be embarrassing at times. I think, if you're comfortable with it, you should do something about epilepsy awareness when you become a true RA. the more awareness the better! ?

The fact that anyone would click "you deserved it" is an ignorant fuckwad who needs to realize that a seizure is a serious thing! Over 50,000 people in the U.S alone die of a seizure each year (that's more than breast cancer)! Absolutely no one deserves to have a seizure!

I thought it was Resident Assistant, like for Uni or college. Could people explain what the other possibilities are?

Although I don't know where OP is from and RA could stand for something else outside the US, I think people are confusing RA (resident assistant) with RN (registered nurse). RAs live in dorms with college students and are trained for various situations, including first aid. At the hospital I work at, nurses generally don't know about training exercises beforehand unless they are helping set one up. We are trained to assume every situation is real. We react and treat medical dummies or live actors just as seriously as real patients. I would be very concerned if a nurse waited to react to a seizure until a person is vomiting.

I'm an RA too! BCD is my favorite part of training, but that sucks it happened to you. That person got some real life experience though!
