McDonald's worker put seizure during shift down to hangover before tumour found

A young woman who had a terrifying seizure during her shift serving and taking orders at a McDonald’s drive-thru blamed it on a “bad hangover” following a night out only to discover she had a benign brain tumour. Danielle Freeman, 23, had enjoyed a number of beers and spirits with friends from the gym where she also worked back in the summer of 2019, ending up in a nightclub.

When she woke up feeling rough, she assumed she had drunk too much and went to work at the fast food outlet, only to experience a two-minute seizure.

Now a personal trainer and nursery worker, Danielle, who lives in Portree on the Isle of Skye with her lifeguard boyfriend Connor, 26, said: “I was on the headset at the drive-thru and I suddenly made a screaming noise. I don’t remember any of this, but my boyfriend and my flatmate both worked at McDonald’s with me and came rushing over.
