Unbelievable

One of my uncles has recently been afflicted with seizures. The first one happened to him just out of the blue....as he was driving. He crashed the car, but luckily, was completely fine.

He lives in the islands, so they're not really equipped to handle complex medical emergencies. But he did go to the doctor and they couldn't figure it out. They assumed that it must have been due to stress or something else. Everyone supposed that they were right, as my uncle was fine for about 6 months. Then another one hit.

After the second one, they decided to bring him to the states to be examined by a specialist. He was here for 2 weeks and they did every test possible. All the tests said that he was perfectly healthy.

My family deciding that one round of tests was good enough, surmised that he was indeed healthy and that the only explanation for his health problems was witchcraft.

Yep, you read that correctly. They sent him home and said that it was all witchcraft.

Island people.

In other news, I found this to be quite disturbing.

    Hmmmm.......I'd say that anyone with a seizure problem should avoid interstate roads. Ugh. We had one here that exploded thanks to a guy going straight into the median during a seizure. More kids are putting up videos of themselves beating up people. Too much opportunity equals loss of brain cells, especially the cowards that wouldn't dare say a thing to my face but lash out at me. I hate people today.

    Sorry about your uncle, that is scary. (Though more scary is your family attributing it to witchcraft!!)

    Did they say what kind of witchcraft? Was it like WB-channel type, or R-rated movie kind? Hhmmmm...
