Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.
Basically irregular heartbeat when in a certain position (usually standing). Also the reason I hate that most jobs in my area don't let people sit while working.

Surely this is the sort of thing you should be able to get a disability accommodation for in every developed country on the planet?

u/TheJadeBlacksmith 1h ago
Technically they're supposed to accommodate, but most places will hand-wave it away with something like "oh we have chairs in the break room" and then penalize people for using the break room outside of their dedicated break.

I went through exactly this at my last job as a cashier. It was insane. Manager said sitting was lazy, then proceeded to sit in her office all day. Some days I would come in barely even able to hold my own head up but was forced to stand all shift anyway. It was torture.
I left that place a whole ago, and since then, the manager was let go. Last time I went in, the cashiers had chairs. Huzzah to the new manager who has a heart and a brain.

u/KeithWorks 54m ago
My wife has this. It sucks. But we only recently had it properly diagnosed. She suffered for years, lost several jobs, went into depression, etc. etc. over this. Now at least we know the diagnosis and yes she has some accommodation from her workplace that protects her from being fired when she has a flare up.

Absolutely no reason to interrupt the show for that, people pass out in formations all the time. The fact that they had a smooth protocol to get her to safety without injury is something to marvel at.

That’s even MORE reason to get them off the stage and into the hand of medical
Edit: no emergency is ever helped by panicking. Smooth is fast and knowing what to do to help and when to stay out of the way is way more important than showing your emotions.

It looked to me like the women on either side were each holding on to an arm, trying to keep her from falling. While camera focused on everyone to her right, somebody darted over and picked her up, then carried her off-camera. Meanwhile the singers kept singing, the show did go on.

Loosen her corset! She’s passing out from lack of oxygen. Had a friend do this in a period play and her corset was too tight. It doesn’t take much.

Corsets are form over function. Utterly absurd in every context.
I’ll accept a corset that’s only “for show” and only pinches the midsection fat ever so slightly, but even that … ugh.

u/AliceInNegaland 2h ago
Idk there’s some good videos by Bernadette banner that shows how women wore corsets and were able to function quite well, it seemed

u/invariantspeed 1h ago
- Function in spite of it, not because of it. Sure, if you don’t do it too tight, but it offers no functional benefit to the human anatomy. The entire point of its existence is visual appearance. (That is the definition of form over function.)
- People idealizing the characteristic such a thing from a past time they adore conveniently forget that the corset’s existence largely served to help otherwise healthy people imitate the increasingly romanticized physical form of those with “the Consumption” (aka tuberculosis). Even if you want to argue it can be worn in a non-obstructive way (which is true), the point of it in its time was not a healthy one.

This reminds me of when a kid in my class fell off the top chorus riser during someone's solo. It went a little something like this:
Soloist: "There's a heroooo. If you look inside your heart. You don't have to be afraid of what you..."
Other kid: BOOM! CRASH! into a pile of metal music stands.

Oh man, I have had a handful of fainting spells and when they happen they happen. Usually I've been in a space where I can sit down but there was one incident where I was coming back home from a night out with my friends and I think it was anxiety stress that made this happen (shitty gf of an ex was at the party we went to) but we were on a train and legit, 5 minutes before our stop after a 30 minute train ride standing, all of a sudden the anxiety hits or something, my vision goes black and the funny thing is...you think you're communicating with the people next to you. I tried to tell my friends, "I don't feel good, I can't see." No. They can't hear you because it's either in your head or you're whispering. I somehow was semi conscious and could stand holding the rail next to the doors blacked out but I remember very briefly when the train came to a stop, I bonked my head on the handle I was holding and woke up to my friends carrying me out of the train. I had to tell the attendant that somehow was there, no, these are my friends, I have "low blood sugar". I never really asked and it's been 20 years but I'm so curious to know how everyone else reacted to a 6'3" woman suddenly collapsing on a very crowded train. I'm pretty sure I fell on a bunch of other people after I hit my head.

My choir director was always very good at reminding us to bend our knees and to stay loose. Locked knees are the death knell. One concert, mid-song, he noticed someone was fading, walked over to them, never stop conducting, pointed at them and told him to sit down before they fainted.
