MADISON, Wis., Nov. 28 (UPI) -- A Madison, Wis., television anchor is recovering after suffering an epileptic seizure on air, officials said.
WMTV-TV anchor Sarah Carlson suffered a seizure and fell into the arms of co-anchor Christine Bellport during the station's live Wednesday morning newscast, the Wisconsin State Journal reported Saturday.
"As many of you know, I've been very open about the fact that I have epilepsy," Carlson wrote on the station's Web site. "Today, I had a seizure that was more intense than usual, and was taken to the hospital. I've seen my doctor and he says I appear to be doing well."
Carlson was diagnosed with epilepsy about a year ago but had experienced relatively minor episodes until the grand mal seizure she had during the newscast, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Saturday.
"The next thing I remember, I was in an ambulance being asked questions by the paramedics," she said. "They were asking simple questions, but I couldn't answer most of them."
Station officials said Carlson likely would return to the air this coming week.
