• After only dating someone for a couple of weeks, I had a seizure while we were on a date.
• He came with me to the emergency room, and the experience brought us closer together.
• I realized how much he cared about me, and we've now been together for almost two years.

On a hot summer day, in the middle of a crowded restaurant, I collapsed. When I came to, I saw a sea of unfamiliar faces and an EMT.
