That professor is a dick. My professor's wont even excuse me if i am in the hospital. Your professor needs to realize that the after affect is really painful. When i got told i had epilepsy at age 15 (19 now), when i had a grand mal life sucked! It took me months to get my back set in place, i was in pain for a month of that, and the fear of having one in public is horrifying! Not only does the seizures suck but the medicine is much worse if your allergic to it. Random nose bleeds in class, seeing and hearing things thinking someone is talking to you and you answering back in a complete silent class. So i know what your talking about. College is a lot different than high school. IT SUCKS! I had a professor not even a week ago call me a daddy's girl because I didn't have a book. Excuse me for loving my father because he pays for my $200 medicine each month, hospital bills, the best doctors so i don't end up in the hospital. So I completely understand. FYL and FML!

Did you TELL professor beforehand? I mean, if this was an appointment you've known about for quite awhile, then you can't just whine about his "asshole-ness" if he didn't know. And for one thing, it's not that big deal, you could have just explained why you missed the class and offered up the neurologist's phone number. If it was an appointment, YDI. But if it was an emergency trip and your professor being is being quite an asshole for missing one class? FYL.

When I was younger the doctors told my mother to jeep watch on me at all times because I am going to have seizures. I've yet to have one but they said it'll happen in my late teenage years. I'm 15 and a half so it sucks knowing that soon I'll have a seizure. I hope it's not in school. And I have to get tests done all the time so op FYL AND FML "I smell burnt toast." definitly going to use that tommorrow

1980 called. They want Ian Curtis back.

#34: Ignorant much? My sister is having seizures as part of an adrenal disorder, so I feel I am able to enlighten you a bit. Grand mal seizures are only ONE type of seizure. Some don't even cause a loss of consciousness or any dramatic physical reaction, but rather a loss of memory, temporary confusion or disorientation, trouble speaking or writing, or jerking of a very isolated part of the body, such as a hand. So if that's the kind of seizure this person is having, probably the only affect it would have on a rehearsal is that she'd have to sit for a few minutes or just take extra notes, or, in this case, go to a neurologist to figure out the cause or area of a seizure and actually deal with the problem (which, by the way, is possible, if there is a discernible and treatable cause). So if she's having grand mal seizures you'd maybe be justified in saying she should step back from the ensemble, if only because it sucks to fall off a riser. If it's partial or absence seizures, then you need to back off. Op, FYL.

UH YOU DESERVE IT FOR WRITING THIS FML. How about getting off the internet and TELLING your prof why you couldn't make it. OBVIOUSLY seizures are serious business and a valid reason to miss class.

Did you consider maybe telling your prof beforehand that you had these appointments? I'd do the same thing if someone just kept missing classes or ensembles without notice or explanation! And if they were last-minute things that you didn't have notice for, that's why doctors' notes were invented! Seems like a little planning could have spared you the lecture!

No, idiot, scheduling appointments during rehearsal shows your lack of commitment. Stop blaming everyone else for your own inadequacies.

Idiot of a professor.

Are you at SFA? Sounds like a director I once knew. . .
