Just tell us what happened
Speak naturally, like you're describing it to a friend or family member. Start with when it happened and walk through what you experienced — what you noticed before, during, and after. If you remember details like the time, how long it lasted, or how severe it felt, include those. If you're not sure, your best guess is fine.
When you're done, you'll be able to review what was captured and add anything you'd like.
Example voice entry
“He had a mild tonic seizure at eleven this morning. It lasted for 5 minutes and we gave him Clobazam. It took him 45 minutes to recover.”
