This has happened to me many times in the past. Have you ever had a seizure and come around from it to find that you are in hospital, lying in bed with the rails up and wearing a wet and soiled diaper.

What is your opinion of hospital staff you leave unconscious patients in wet and soiled diapers after a seizure. Do you think hospital staff should change patients before they come around from a seizure or after. Do you think the majority of patients who require an incontinence brief for epilepsy, would have the capability to change themselves after a seizure. Please make your answers to the three parts of this question brief and to the point. No more then three sentences per section.
