I’ve had clinical experience working with both stroke and epilepsy patients. That has been enough experience to know that I’m just pulling all of this out of my a##.
As to police covering for the muckety-mucks? Possibly true, but I tend to go with Tom Wolf in ‘Bonfire of the Vanities.’ There is nothing a DA loves to get a hold of more than “The Great White Defendant.” Careers are made on such cases.
You don’t need to post a ‘not’ for that second sentence. I know what you meant. Me too, seen plenty of it. I was working a doctor’s offcie one time when a very heavy woman had a storke in the exam room next to the one we were in. She fell heavily back against the wall separating the two rooms, but when we rushed into her room she was again sitting erect on the exam table with a blank look. She suffered a final CHF while we were looking right at her! Man she was heavy when she tilted forward and had to be supported from falling face first onto the floor. I also watched my Mother have TIAs while speaking and years before my father had one while driving me and him from the hardware store. The car began to slow while he was staring straight ahead and I was talking. I noticed the slowing and spoke to him directly, repeating my question of why we were slowing down. He ‘came to’ just as I was finishing the repeat and he jerked the car to the right to try and take the off ramp we were passing. The car bumped over the grassy separate and back onto pavement on the down ramp. Decades ago, Docotr Dampere and his family were hit head on by a car which came up the off ramp, driven by a guy suffering a TIA and massive confusion. The TIA victim lived for a few days after the accident byt die of a massive stroke while still hospitalized, IIRC.
