The statement "a student-athlete who collapses and starts shaking is definitely having a seizure and should be left alone" is false. A student- athlete who collapses and starts shaking may be experiencing a seizure, but it could also be a sign of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), which is a life- threatening emergency. During SCA, the athlete can show seizure-like shaking or twitching, but this is due to the heart's electrical disturbance, not a typical seizure. Immediate action is critical—this includes calling for emergency help (911), starting CPR, and using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) if available. The athlete should not be left alone. Instead, lifesaving interventions must be promptly initiated. Furthermore, if the person is having a true seizure, the first aid approach involves staying calm, protecting them from injury by moving objects away, cushioning their head, and not restraining or leaving them alone. They should be observed until the seizure ends, and if necessary, placed in the recovery position afterward. Emergency services should be called if the seizure lasts more than five minutes or if breathing difficulties persist after the seizure. In summary, collapsing and shaking in a student-athlete requires immediate attention and appropriate medical response rather than leaving the person alone.
