Frequently Asked Questions

Q - What should I bring with me to the hospital?

The California Pacific Epilepsy Program
A - We encourage you to wear your regular clothes during the day and your pajamas at night. Clothes with buttons or zippers are best. The electrodes and wrappings on your head make "pull-on" shirts difficult. We encourage you to bring your favorite hobbies and plenty of reading material. Some patients find that photographs or a special pillow or blanket make the room more comfortable. For safety reasons we ask that all personal items and effects be cleared through your epilepsy team.
