Keri-Rose Tiessen was diagnosed with epilepsy in 2006 , but had only ever experienced minor “aura” seizures.
In 2017 , she experienced an aura then lost consciousness, collapsed, and fell head- first to the floor.
That episode led her to Vancouver General Hospital’s seizure investigation unit, where she had a seizure that stopped her heart from beating.
A follow-up determined Tiessen wasn’t a candidate for surgery, but the combination of the pacemaker and a change to her medication regime meant she could drive again, get back to her studies, and live a normal life.
