Epilepsy is a brain disorder causing seizure. Seizure means an abnormal area in one's brain sends electrical activity.After seizure, one can lose consciousness,confuse and tired. It may also take few seconds or 5 minutes for a seizure activity. As long as Gina's dad be able to answer some questions like who he is,where are they and what time and also can talk and breathe normally. It is okay not to call 911 then.

Answer:

Ginny doesn't need to call 911 unless the seizure happens again.

Explanation:

Seizures usually last between 1 and 2 minutes, and may last up to 5 minutes. When it is over, the individual often does not even remember what happened and suffers from unpleasant sensations such as tiredness and confusion. As with Ginny's father.

In this case, there is no need to call 911 unless repeated seizures occur without breaks or if Ginny's father has a seizure that does not stop. In this case, the patient should be referred to an emergency room by calling 911, so that he or she can be treated immediately.
