I have videos each of these “seizure-like” incidents and neither the Neurologist or the PCP were interested in watching! I have stopped taking my husband with me to live theater performances because we are afraid of the disruption it would cause.
Once he had one. In a supermarket while standing on checkout line on his Walker. Since he could not respond to instructions to move forward or anything— the supermarket personnel called police and 911. Big scene; ER. He became conscious again while in ambulance but they had him inside ER by the time I arrived in my car!
They gave him Versed, which made him sensitive and uncooperative. The Hospital he was taken to has no Neurology department! He did not remember any of this!

Hi @annestudio
So sorry to hear the ER experience your husband faced.
Since neither your husband's neurologist nor his PCP seems interested in reviewing these videos, I would encourage you to seek a second opinion.
Where are you currently located? There may be other members in our group living in the same region who could recommend an experienced neurologist in epilepsy, or an epileptologist.
