My brother had a grand mal seizure about five years ago, and my mother was recently diagnosed as epileptic. If there's one thing I've learned--seizures are more common than you think.
Seriously, though...your aunt needs to learn to handle herself in an emergency, otherwise she'll just make things worse. People who freak out about the situation don't help it any. I hope someone points that out to her--next time it could be something more serious. I understand how scary seizures can be--the last petit mal my mother had she choked on some toast she had been eating and my dad had to risk getting his fingers bit in order to fish it out of her mouth (fortunately he's a former lifeguard, but still, it was scary). But there are times when a deep breath in the face of fear is most necessary.
