Edward Snowden Identified A Reporter Having A Seizure Over …

Posted on by

Edward Snowden wasn't legally allowed to be there in person, but that didn't stop him from coming to a seizing journalist's aid during a recent Skype conference with the ACLU.

The exiled journalist -- who video-chats via an advanced computer on wheels called "The Snowdenbot" out of Russia -- suffers from epilepsy himself, and subsequently knew just what to do when he saw someone across his screen faint.

German journalist Julia Proisinger described Snowden's heroism for Der Tagesspiegel:

I wake up, my head lies bedded on a sand bag, my body is in the recovery position. A calm voice is coming from the screen. The first fits are always the worst, Snowden says... He tells me that he was only diagnosed when he was 23 years old. When he fled the US a little more than a year ago, he told his employer that he had to go away for a few weeks for treatment for his epilepsy. Then Snowden apologises for making me look at the flickering screen, it had triggered the fit, he says.

Snowden then instructed ACLU lawyer Ben Wizner to bring her "a glass of juice."

Edward Snowden ‘robot’ helps epileptic journalist at ACLU …

A journalist recently woke to the soothing voice of Edward Snowden walking his attorney in New York through her epileptic seizure.

The flickering of a video screen had triggered a seizure in Julia Prosinger, a German reporter for Der Tagesspiegel, as she spoke to Edward Snowden on a Skype call.

Snowden then told his American Civil Liberties Union attorney Ben Wizner, who was sitting with Prosinger in New York, how to help her citing his own epilepsy as experience.

The exiled whistleblower recognized the medical emergency all the way from Moscow during the call, which was channeled through a telepresence robot.

The 'bot is at the ACLU office in lower Manhattan, where Snowden can talk constitutional law, meet with journalists and even get a view of the Statue of Liberty.

"He's used it to roll out into the hallway and generally interact with large numbers of ACLU staff," Wizner told Wired.

That day, Snowden also used it to tell Wizner what to do when Julia Prosinger fainted in the ACLU office.

Prosinger had been explaining German politics to Snowden when the flicker of his video screen spurred the seizure.

She woke up with her head resting on a bean bag and her body "in the recovery position," Prosinger wrote in a June 10 article translated to English. Snowden also instructed Wizner to grab a glass of juice for her.

The seizure nearly knocked Prosinger into a set of metal filing cabinets, but Snowden had Wizner get her away from the hard surface before she hurt herself.
