More humor from the academic failure.

Thus ends our kumbaya session for today.

Damned near two whole minutes.

Jay is a living, thinking being. Frank is not. At least not the "thinking" part.

Frank does not like the idea that I should not worship academic education
purely on the grounds that a diploma is awarded and not because the owner
of that diploma actually can use the knowledge that education was supposed to impart.

I have had too many examples of so-called highly educated people unable
to find the slightest ability to use their educations for the purposes it was designed.

If I had three PhD's formulate the proper equation I would never have
burned my lungs with poison gas after working all of the equations out myself.

I would probably have been almost entirely without severe memory loss if
my GP and the probably demented neurologist he sent me to would have
treated me properly. Not to mention the ER where I was taken after my
concussion. Can you imagine the Resident telling me that they didn't keep
me for observation because the best that would do would be to see me have
a seizure? A Federal Investigator's Nurse Wife spotted the problem at a
single glance. My present sister-in-law would have spotted it instantly
because she runs the Diabetes program for Contra Costa County and I have
diabetic-like seizures.

I’m not aware of any treatment to help with memory loss, other than the
brain plasticity it’s self ie using it. So I’m not sure what treatment you
mean? In my and others experience at least in the UK so NHS you get
assessment program which is a good two months or so, and then
rehabilitation there after, for myself mostly vestibular stuff.

I’m not sure what you mean by a diabetic seizure unless you mean
hypoglycemia? More folks have seizures than they realise/will admit in the
uk, as they don’t want to lose their driving license.

The seizures I was experiencing before proper treatment were similar to hypoglycemic seizures. I would have no memory of them after they occurred. The medication I take for it is right on the line of too much but it is not quite enough so occasionally I have to take one extra pill. I can tell because I have a short period when I get hot flashes. The levels of medication are high enough that I don't get actual seizures anymore, just these uncomfortable seconds to a minute of discomfort. This is doubtless because it wasn't treated correctly before my NCIS friend got me to a doctor that knew what he was doing. So I went two years having full blown seizures which themselves cause damage.

In any case, I have no serious problems since the Professor of Neurology at Stanford University Medical School began treating me.
