amen, brother. I learned this at a meeting, when hearing a sound like a ripe melon hitting a tree, I looked up to see my assistant and very good friend in the throes of a grand mal seizure.

When the paramedic arrived, he surveyed the scene and made a very appropriate conclusion - "Ah, forgot to take your medication, I see."

My friend was comatose and I piped up "I've worked with Joe on a daily basis for the past two years, and this is unprecedented. We need to get to the ER." Which we did.

Even there I was able to provide all kinds of information, and contact Joe's wife, etc. etc (we were way out of town).

I have had to handle unresponsive victims and that feature alone makes it a whole lot more challenging. If you have a medical situation, follow the advice of the experienced medical professionals already given here and wear a device on your person - make it easy for the practitioner who will have your life in his/her hands.
