Electric shock

Hi Cabbagecrate

Yes he is on Tegrotol. As the dose is very small, his doctor said that he could go off them and 'see what happens'. Catch is that no one knows what will happen. I guess the doctor just wants to play it safe.

He had all the tests done, and they tried to induce a fit with flashing lights etc but with no effect. My son had been working on an electric motor (which he thought was switched off) and got zapped with 240v. Was thrown across to other side of small shed he was in. Next day - he had a 'turn'.

I don't know if the electric shock was the trigger - or was it mere co-incidence.

I am curious as to what 'epileptic' categories were assessed as acceptable for license to be re-instated.
