On occasion, back in the day, my sweet Sam would be prone to epileptic-style seizures, sometimes with blackouts, which could be enormously traumatic for everyone involved. One certain guy, an incorrigible alcoholic with many mental problems who may or may not have been her true father (it's complicated) and who believed - among lots of other things - he had the gift of healing, has been known to place his hand on top of her head to 'heal' her as she lay in the recovery position into which I would place her to keep her safe and let her ride things out. He apparently truly believed he was doing good, even though he certainly didn't help and in fact only caused her greater distress than she was already experiencing. It took promises of personal damage to stop him.That's awful
