1. and yet again, a common ailment is treated like the plague.

I recall in my yute how cancer patients were viewed as contagious. How entire rooms were cleared when an AIDS sufferer entered (just as it was being identified as a retrovirus). And how mental illness was something to be beaten or scorned.

3. I agree - it is true that many with seizures do not get drivers licenses but there is not other

restrictions that would require his resigning his job.

4. Wasn't he responsible for a hit and run which was blamed on a seizure?

He showed his irresponsibility by driving with a known condition that could cause serious injuries or death..

Vinny Gambini: It is possible that the two yutes...
Judge Chamberlain Haller: ...Ah, the two what? Uh... uh, what was that word?
Vinny Gambini: Uh... what word?
Judge Chamberlain Haller: Two what?
Vinny Gambini: What?
Judge Chamberlain Haller: Uh... did you say 'yutes'?
Vinny Gambini: Yeah, two yutes.
Judge Chamberlain Haller: What is a yute?
Vinny Gambini: [beat] Oh, excuse me, your honor...
(exaggerated)
Vinny Gambini: Two YOUTHS.
