Roberts being kept in the hospeter. Tests and observations prollee.

[lonestarnot]

Do they have to disclose what is wrong with him?

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

1. I Don't Think So, But I Hope All Is Well.

Seizures are generally harmless, so hopefully there isn't some other underlying condition that is actually dangerous. Since he's had one before, and they are quite infrequent, I'm sure he's fine.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

3. It could be many things.

Epilepsy of some sort. TIA. Aneurysm. Food allergy.

[lonestarnot]

15. He's a public person in one of our highest offices of the land, but his health info is protected and

a secret? Seems wierd. Afterall, we heard all about the camera up the ass of bushitler.

[rodeodance]

16. A seizure is a symptom of epilepsy, but not all seizures are caused by epilepsy

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

18. I'm Aware. Thanks.

[Olney Blue]

2. They may never find the cause of the epilepsy.

[lonestarnot]

4. So that's your diagnosis, epilepsy?

I say brain fart.

[Olney Blue]

5. Odor in the court?

[lonestarnot]

8. Teeee heeee.

:rofl:

[bbinacan]

6. I'd say that you know nothing

about epilepsy. I have a nephew that has it.

[lonestarnot]

9. So would you like to further inform us? I know some stuff about it.

[Pastiche423]

32. I have been having grand mals for twenty years

Not a single neurologist I've seen knows why.

The only thing that might affect Roberts, is he won't be able to drive. How long depends on the state.

[lonestarnot]

34. He has a chauffeur so no affect period.

I am sorry pastiche423. The brain is the organ of the body we know the least about its function. I hope they get to the bottom of this condition one of these days. Stem cell research is supported here. :toast:

[bbinacan]

42. I just moved to TX,

the DFW area, and you can drive with grand mals. This guy here in TX is now taking helicopter lessons.

[bbinacan]

44. My nephew's condition is

a tough one to diagnose. He shows symptons of both Benign Rolandic and Landau-Kleffner (which is very rare).

[Olney Blue]

12. I'm sorry about your nephew.

It's a frightening condition, and I had a good friend with it in grade school. My other first hand experience was that my beloved dog had idiopathic epilepsy. Excitement seemed to trigger his seizures, so we had to work to keep him calm (visitors to our house would usually trigger it). I would hold him while he had his seizures- usually lasting about 10 minutes.

[bbinacan]

43. Same thing with my nephew.

He seems to have more seizures around holidays when family comes in. He's a bit of a ham. He exhibits symptons of both benign Rolandic and Landau-Kleffner.

[Luke_R]

14. I said it before, and I'll say it again. He was overcome with a bad case of guilt.

[scarletwoman]

7. "hospeter"? "prollee"? Are you posting drunk?!?!

People don't actually DO that, do they?????

:rofl:

[lonestarnot]

10. :ROFL:

Must keep a sense of humor these days. I usually post the way I speak. And no I'm not drunk.

[scarletwoman]

20. Tha's okay -- I AM. I agree, "must keep a sense of humor".

Drunk helps too.

[lonestarnot]

22. Well if you insist!

:toast:

[scarletwoman]

25. skål!

[Luke_R]

11. I hate it when people beat me to something like this.

I was gonna say, oh no, not the hospeter. That's prollee the wursd place for him.

[scarletwoman]

21. Heh. That is teh funny...

Welcome to DU! :toast:

[Richard Steele]

38. I r dooin it rite now!

Is not so gret, akshulee.......

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

13. Nothing to see here, move along.

Just one little seizure causing one to collapse on a pier and get an ambulance called and all that.

And one had a similar seizure before and rode the bus for a while, because, well it was the only safe thing.


:shrug: MKJ

[Tanuki]

17. Where is Bill Frist when we need him

to weigh in with a long-distance diagnosis of someone he hasn't examined?

[Ilsa]

24. Heh heh heh. I wonder if anyone got any video of J. Roberts

taking a header over a rail? Or slipping and falling and hitting his head? Yeah, put Frist on the case!

[Bread and Circus]

19. Brain tumors are a cause for late onset seizure.

although I heard he had one before...

I wonder what teh results of his scans are.

[lonestarnot]

23. Well seriously now,

are we going to be told? Or are they executive privileging this info some how.

31. Maybe this is sick, but

I wonder if they'll say the scans showed TMDs (tumors of mass destruction), operate on him to remove them, not find them, but still fiddle with his brain, saying something like, "We're fighting to free his mind."
I don't know, just wondering.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

33. You have extremely heavy fingers.

MKJ

[piesRsquare]

45. The results of Roberts' brain scans?

Instead of a computerized image of a brain, it just said "void".

[spanone]

35. But CNN declared him COMPLETELY RECOVERED

get on up and get home john

[comtec]

36. Do you think we'll all be blessed by god and Roberts will be taken up?

Well probably down for all the fucking EVIL this bastard has done to us all!
But that aside... I can't help but think what a GOOD THING FOR THE COUNTRY this is!

Oh yeah "Oh no you can't say ill of the Ill or dead" To that I say, lady, I'm not just dancing, I've got fucking boogie fever!

This man is a rat bastard, and the sooner he steps down or .... well gets to meet his maker, he better it'll be for ALL of us!

Name one, ONE THING this asshat has done to HELP the American people, just ONE!

[zanne]

39. I don't like what I'm thinking.

It's strange--I thought I was nicer than that. It would be great if he just had to resign (not the other thing that I was thinking about).

[comtec]

40. At this point I don't care the exit he takes

as long as he leaves the court!
This is too important to have ideologues on the court like him!

[piesRsquare]

37. Posted this on another thread...Two seizures: Give Roberts what the rest of us get!

Roberts has now had TWO seizures...the one he had in 1993 left him with a suspended driver's license for several months (hopefully this one will too!)

Give him the full deal: Put a diagnosis on record, prescribe anti-seizure drugs, and kick him off the bench as unfit to serve. Let him suffer what the rest of us with epilepsy suffer from: Medication side-effects that make you feel like shit, discrimination, a medical condition that no insurance company will want to cover, and immediate disqualification from a shitload of jobs and careers.

Let him get a taste of the stripped-down Americans with Disabilities Act, since his court ruled that people with epilepsy "aren't disabled enough", and therefore are not entitled to reasonable accomodations on the job! Let Roberts get the discrimination but no accomodations! Just like the rest of us with epilepsy/seizure disorders!

Fuck Justice John Roberts!

Now if everyone will please excuse me, I have to take my next dose of 600 fucking milligrams of fucking Trileptal to control MY fucking seizures because my goddamned insurance company said the surgical procedure that could get me off medication is "experimental" and that they won't pay for it! AND they're 23 days LATE in responding to my appeal! I pay $432.50 per month for coverage when I'm 35 and otherwise healthy but because I have a SEIZURE DISORDER just like JUSTICE ROBERTS, this is the only insurance coverage I can get!

I'm so angry and enraged right now I'm getting a headache! I'm so sick of the "special treatment" these fucking assholes get while people like me have to fight for everything! Assholes!

:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

Please forgive my foul-mouthed rant...I'm just so frustrated!!! :rant:

[comtec]

41. I think your anger is well placed.

Roberts will never, sadly, feel your pain. Even/when he leaves he'll get a life time pension and medical coverage at the platinum level :(. Justice, in this case, is quite prejudiced!

[bbinacan]

46. You may want to check this site out

My nephew, and Godson, has a very difficult case of epilepsy and I know some of what you are going through. He may even have Landau-Kleffner. Much of the epilepsy protection offered by the ADA of 1990 was stripped by the SCOTUS in Sutton v. United Airlines back in 1998. Hoyer and Senenbrenner introduced the ADA Restoration Act of 2007, H.R. 3195. You may want to look at the link.
