Rant: A kid in my chair in Denver started having a seizure mid-fade

I was lining up a 14-year-old's skin fade last Tuesday when he just went stiff and started shaking. His mom was in the waiting area and I yelled for her while I eased him down to the floor, making sure he didn't hit the chair arm. She said it was his first one ever and called 911. I kept everyone calm and cleared space until the paramedics arrived about five minutes later. Has anyone else had a major medical emergency happen in their shop, and what's your plan for it?

Wow, that's scary. I had a client pass out once and keeping them flat on the floor was the right call until help came.

My one fainting client woke up and asked if his haircut was done yet.
