Prolonged event at home
Joe reports a prolonged seizure-like/non-epileptic event. Public wording avoids calling it epileptic unless a source establishes that diagnosis.
Medical-story framing: The diagnosis was there. The data was there. The continuity failed. This section preserves structural findings, functional findings, lived observations, professional interpretations, and unresolved questions without forcing a false either/or conclusion.
When the handoff failed
The February–March 2025 sequence is presented as a continuity lesson.
This page does not attempt to decide legal or clinical questions. It asks what happens when established CP, documented FND, structural findings, communication needs, medication context, and the longitudinal record do not arrive together at the point of care.
Review needed
Mary Washington emergency department
The core continuity question begins at emergency care: did the existing neurological and communication context arrive as a usable handoff?
Departure and emergency-order pickup
Joe reports leaving after being told he was not detained, then later being picked up the same day. Body-camera material remains private unless explicitly released.
Involuntary commitment and inpatient sequence
Diagnoses, medications, restraint reports, communication issues, and discharge need source-separated presentation.
What remained unresolved
No single usable longitudinal handoff joined the structural, functional, communication, medication, and lived-experience layers.
Joe had to become the continuity layer. Project Fionigan grew from the need to preserve sources, expose meaningful differences, protect accessibility, and leave final decisions with human beings.
