A Teen Had A Seizure On A School Bus, The Driver’s Response Won’t Win Any Medals Read

[Northerner]

A teenager in Oakland Park, a community in southern Florida, suffered a potentially disastrous diabetic seizure on a school bus ride home Tuesday. Luckily, he’s fine now — no thanks to the bus driver who, according to the boy’s family, put on one of the most heartless and irresponsible displays you’re likely to hear about this week. Or any time.

Here’s what happened.

Andrew Shepard is a 16-year-old high school kid who unfortunately suffers not only from diabetes, but Addison’s disease as well. That’s a condition that causes the adrenal glands to produce insufficient amounts of certain hormones that human beings need to function normally every day. The many symptoms can include fatigue, weakness and low blood sugar. The disease can cause a coma and even death. But like diabetes, it can be treated with proper medication.

Well that wasn't an Addison's crises, so why didn't the sister give him some glucose?
Let alone a kick up the bum the bus driver needs a steel toe capped boot up his bum. 😡

That driver should be sacked! I'm pretty sure school buses in the US are separate from public buses, so you'd think the school bus drivers would have some empathy with children if they have chosen that line of work. The least he could have done is dialled 911 and helped the young man off the bus. What if his sister hadn't been there? 😱
