We all know that there are incidents that involve seizures coming out of nowhere. Brain tumors, brain infections....epilepsy unknown before.
But you gotta go with the odds and the odds on this are not that he had a seizure. Not that the Obamer admin would ever lie to us.
First, this thing about drugs and alcohol being out of the question is not true.
We cant confirm that it was no drugs or alcohol, Lt. Ariel Duran said by phone. We dont know until all the testing comes back. So at this point, it could be one of those or it could be medical.

Second, no less a truth bastion than MSNBC confirms that Bryson DID have a seizure and he is now taking a leave of absence.
The Commerce Department said Bryson was taken to the hospital for examination and remained overnight for observation. He was released and returned to Washington, spokeswoman Jennifer Friedman said. The department says an investigation is ongoing.
My husband got a brain infection and he had seizures of all sorts. Of course I’m no expert but go with the odds.
Seizures are when the body performs movements that were not commanded by the body’s owner. They happen because of some malfunction in the brain.
Bryson’s over 60 years old. If this guy had seizures it sure would have been known before this.
Yeah seizures are apt to pop up, say from a brain tumor, or in my husband’s case, a brain infection, for the first time at SOME poiint.
In the case of a brain infection more than likely there’d been some kind of history of fighting some kind of infection, in husband’s case, pneumonia that migrated to his brain. Very rare but still and so, there is SOME kind of medical history proceeding the brain infection, hence the seizure.
Even though the body goes through wracking motions that the mind did not order, most times a person experiencing a seizure is aware of what’s going on. They just can’t do a thing to stop it. Further, when the seizure is over, the person KNOWS they had a seizure. The whole time their body’s doing things they can’t control, they know what’s going on. Their eyes are rolling around, maybe, their tongue might hang out. They can’t control what their body’s doing but their mind still works.
This does not apply all the time, of course, but going with the odds. Bryson should have known he had a seizure and number one, it shouldn’t be a mystery. Number two, folks rarely jump back into and drive cars after a seizure. Much less have three seizures over a span of an hour, boom, all of a sudden out of nowhere.
I think there’s a cover up going on here but I speculate.
Absolutely nothing about this incident exemplifies normal seizure background or behavior.
And further, lookit, seizures don’t cripple you, assuming it WAS a seizure. There’s no reason for the guy to take a leave of absence though a few days off to follow up on medical stuff is an intelligent action. But note that MSNBC told AP that Bryson’s taking a leave of absence.
My husband worked and functioned fine during his seizure period. Driving a car is a no-no in most states, further giving me doubt cause if this guy had a seizure history he sure wouldn’t be driving around. Varies from state to state I imagine but I consider this another fly in this ointment.
In Delaware you got be seizure free for a year before driving license returned. Further, there are good medications that help seizures, often eliminating them completely. Husband, because of brain infection, was going thru a medical protocol to get his prescription right to stop the seizures. During the adjustment period he would have seizures, but he functioned and did not need to take a leave of absence.
After six months of intensive antibiotic infusion, husband has recovered completely but he still takes anti-seizure meds because there is scar tissue on his brain.
I’ll shut up now but everything about this rather unusual story is odds that Bryson did NOT have a seizure.
Your mileage may vary but I’m willing to wager real money on it.
Tanks for sharing your really extensive personal knowledge about this.
