ANONS ~
I'veoften wondered about Justice Roberts "seizures"
… And, since red-pilled, I've Absolutely wondered if these were actually seizures… Or, 'something else' ? (((Anons, who been around awhile, will understand what I mean)))
Health
Summer of 2007, Roberts suffered a seizure while he was at his vacation home on Hupper Island off the village of Port Clyde in St. George, Maine. As a result of the seizure he fell 5 to 10 feet on a dock near his house but suffered only minor scrapes…by ambulance to Penobscot Bay Medical Center in Rockport, where he stayed overnight. * Roberts had suffered a similar seizure in 1993.
July 31, 2007 – U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has left a Maine hospital after having a seizure yesterday afternoon at his Maine vacation home.
According to media reportsdoctors said Roberts, 52, had a "benign idiopathic seizure," meaning that they couldn't find a reason for the seizurewhich happened after Roberts had gotten off a boat at a dock near his summer home on Maine's Hupper Island.
Roberts reportedly had had a seizure in 1993. In 2001, he told the Senate Judiciary Committee that his health was "excellent," according to the Associated Press.
Q ~ What is a "benign idiopathic seizure"?
There is no such thing as a category of seizure called "benign." A seizure is a seizureIt's not a benign thing to have a seizure. I think what they're trying to get across with that word is that there is not an underlying cause that's alarming. He hasn't been discovered to have an infection or a brain tumor or anything along those lines. But other than that, there is no "benign."
Theother thing is that they are being very careful to call it a seizure but in fact and obviously it was a seizure but the fact that he has had two seizures without cause one in 1993 and the most recent one (July 2007) actually puts him in the category of epilepsy because the only definition of the word "epilepsy" is more than one unprovoked seizure. So once you've had two unprovoked seizures, you in fact have epilepsy. And the reason that we use that term is because the likelihood of having a third once you've had two is more than 50%.
Q ~ Is there any reason Roberts wouldn't be able to return to the bench in October, knowing what we know now?
Absolutely not. The very important message is that even people with epilepsy or seizure disorders are capable of maintaining activity in all walks of life. I certainly know people who have seizure disorders who are physicians, attorneys, judges, and every walk of life."
