    Toilet seat syncope

    Vasomotor syncope must effect a fall into the horizontal position to allow for a rapid recovery. Some unfortunate patients are unable to fall during syncope because they happen to be alone sitting on a toilet seat situated in a narrow corner. I have seen or heard of several old people who had been found dead in that sitting position. Toilet room designers should be strictly reminded to leave ample space on either side of the toilet seats to allow syncope sufferers to fall and recover.
