UCLA Medical Center Seizure and Head Trauma

Type: story
Participants: Randal Schwartz
Location: Los Angeles, California

  • UCLA Medical Center Seizure and Head Trauma

  • A serious medical scare that landed me in emergency care in September 2014.

  • The Seizure

    • While at work, I suffered a minor seizure related to a head trauma I had experienced a few days prior on Saturday night.
    • I was immediately admitted to the Los Angeles UCLA Medical Center Emergency Room.
    • Fortunately, I was surrounded by friends when the seizure occurred, rather than driving at high speeds on the freeway.

  • Recovery and Prognosis

    • The medical team conducted consecutive CAT scans, which showed a positive 50% reduction in blood inside the skull.
    • An MRI confirmed a good prognosis, and my physical responses returned to textbook levels.
    • The experience was a scary reminder of how fragile we all can be, requiring me to be highly cautious during the months of recovery that followed.
