- Contrary to popular belief, epilepsy is not caused by demonic possession, hysteria, or masturbation.
- FDR had epilepsy. Chief Justice Roberts has epilepsy. I think we can, therefore, elect a president with MS. Bartlet for America. (Maybe I should stop living in a drama that has now been off the air for several years.)
- I think I may have come across a good number of people with behavioral variant frontotemporal degeneration (symptoms include: loss of insight, inappropriate behavior, perseveration, inflexible behavior, overeating)…sounds like most medical students (kidding, kidding).

Live the dream! Bartlett for President! Even if he already did his two terms…
Bartlet for America!
YES!!! Thanks for the correction(s), friend!
well, if FDR can get re-elected, oh, six or seven times (WW season III, “Dead Irish Writers”), I think we can overlook the 22nd amendment…so glad I have your support!
You know, the funny thing is I had the EXACT same thought when I saw this lecture.
