I'm visiting a coffee shop where once I suffered a significant partial seizure.
I remember getting up to use the restroom and about halfway there I was on the ground twitching.
Two EMTs happened to be in the cafe and they stayed with me throughout the ordeal.
It is certainly nice now enjoying my small iced latte without the fear of scaring the shit out of baristas.
