Episode Details

Shane Singh, 30, recounts a harrowing 2017 incident where he was convicted of trespassing on train tracks and fined £1,000 — a charge he insists he couldn’t control due to severe epilepsy caused by tuberous sclerosis complex, a condition he’s had since birth. Triggered by a scuffle on a train, his seizure left him confused, incontinent, and later angry — all documented in his medical records. Though assault charges were dropped, the trespassing conviction remains, leaving him anxious around public transport. Eleven years later, he still battles frequent seizures, including a recent hospitalization after ten in a row — which again led to post-seizure outbursts. Despite living with constant care and improved support from trained staff, the trauma and stigma linger.
