Not at all, genuinely curious at what would be a safe job. Not something I have ever had to think about, not saying that people who have seizures can't work.
Office is the safest I guess but still has risks.
For example, if someone is in the office in a cubicle and has a seizure they could hit the desk corner or go unnoticed for a while depending on how many people are in the office that day.
Think of it instead as “risks beyond staying at home”. Falling and hitting your head could happen to anyone, and I’d wager it happening at work is far safer as you are more likely to be quickly found.
Years ago my uncle got a seizure while sleeping, fell out of bed, and ended hospitalized for weeks with a skull fracture. With these kind of conditions more or less anything in "unsafe" to a degree.
Exactly - and I’ve read enough stories of this sort of thing happening to people living alone, and no one notices until things start to smell - whereas even in a practically empty office worst case you’d be found (hopefully still breathing) by janitorial or security when they make their nightly sweep.
Public transit or taxi/ride share? Lots of people with medical conditions where you can't drive work just fine. Also if you live in a city you can probably walk to work.
Also even with seizures you can drive if you're on medication and haven't had one in a while.
Sure. But a lot of times it’s not. As a counter point, I have a relative with cerebral palsy that has a shockingly normal life for as disabled as she seems to me. In a lot of ways it’s terrifying to see her getting around but she lives a very full life. People, in spite of disabilities, need not just be warehouses until they die.
