Senator Mitch McConnell SECOND Starting Episode | Neurologist Reacts 

“Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often and for the same reasons” …. (Mark Twain)

Its not only sad but infuriating to see what these old men do to desperately cling to the reins of power when they should be nowhere near any office where they have to make consequential decisions. Its not serving your country at that point, it's serving your ego (to the detriment of us all)

This is sad - his team knows his capabilities, issues of health, etc. Yet…they’re still pushing him out front. Sometimes humans are just disappointing. It’s time for Mitch and/or team to make a prerecorded announcement of his immediate retirement. Go home and enjoy your family, sir…respectfully!!

It is scary and sad. What is also sad is how he blocked the Affordable Care Act for Americans, while he will have a top-notch medical plan, provided by us tax payers. Also, my stepdad is LUCID and will be turning 90 in January.

This is how I am with my absence seizures. I'm aware of everything, I hear and understand. I have difficulty answering immediately and it takes a few seconds to move my arms. I look just like this when it happens to me.

I really like your logical approach and how organized your presentations are.

He has had atleast a few falls recently, so he's probably had these seizures before. It is very sad that a man in his 80s can't retire and take care of his health, but has to keep giving interviews.

Unrelated to the the video, but I remember back in summer 2013, I started watching some of your videos because I was about to start college with a biology degree because I wanted to be a doctor. 2 years later I decided to not become one and instead pursue a laboratory career. Which was right for me. It's nice to see that you're now a doctor.

His brain had the blue screen of death.

Maybe eyes driven right, as well, to support left onset. Brief post ictal, as well, maybe neocortical. Also, given his hx of TBI, I'll bet his imaging is not normal, so he likely should have been on an anticonvulsant after the first one. Might be in that slow lamotrigine ramp now, and got caught. A lot of subtlety here that you may want to mention to viewers: if these are seizures, then if controlled no reason for him to step down. Fun fact, which you probably know, Chief Justice Roberts has epilepsy as well, it seems, but it's very hush hush about it.

He's simply not well and it is becoming more and more frequent!

When my husband's cancer spread to his spinal fluid, he experienced episodes like this. While he was still able to explain what it felt like, he said it was like being in a nightmare while you were awake and knowing you're awake. He looked terrified, just like Mitch during the two episodes we've seen. I'm not a fan of Mitch McConnell, but I don't want him to suffer or experience the type of fear and confusion that comes with these kinds of neurological episodes.

I knew it was seizures and not a stroke. People keep saying stroke but that looks so different, some people are saying dementia. I may have only a highschool education in regards to medical things but I remember seizures being covered in health class and staring off into space is definitely what some seizures look like. Glad I came across a video with an actual expert giving their analysis. Mitch needs to be pulled out of office asap. His term don't end till 2027. He's not going to make it that long and it's cruel to keep making him do this. Both him and Biden are not mentally fit for their jobs and what's happening to them is elder abuse imo.

I just see the lady that touched his hand hipnotice him and the guys in back where having smirks on their faces. They knew that was going to happen

The ketogenic diet has shown promise in managing photosensitive epilepsy. This high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet has been used for many years to control seizures in individuals with epilepsy. It works by altering brain metabolism and increasing ketone bodies, which may have an anticonvulsant effect. While the effectiveness can vary, some individuals with photosensitive epilepsy have reported positive outcomes. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before starting any diet to ensure personalized advice and proper monitoring.

Notice how he has a sudden abrupt change in his disposition, tightening of his lips, grip increases on the podium and slight right up gaze sustained. And a lapse in memory, complete freeze - and a return to “Okay” and doesn’t answer the question even after implying, to some degree, impaired awareness or ability to communicate. He is not attempting to speak and fumbling on words or looking apprehensive that he can’t speak or is frightened - in which he would have intact awareness and worrisome face that he could not get the words out, as is common with expressive aphasia for instance or an MCA syndrome. Also notice he maintains good grip on the podium and his R arm doesn’t fall weak or anything nor does he develop a slight droop , in fact he puckers his lip up and has a sustained gaze. Notice his gaze is directed to the R and not L, also possibly arguing against an oligemic process to the L MCA. He also has an abrupt return to mentation after and lack of awareness of what happened per se. He can still communicate ish which is not uncommon with focal seizures with intact awareness also. Localizes likely L frontotemporal region. Focal seizure. Agree with Doc O! Same, Neuro trained. MD

This is a sign when your pride takes control. His family and he himself are doing serious damage. He needs hospice care immediately

2 episodes THAT WE KNOW OF. who KNOWS how many times this happens in privacy

Thank you for your insight.

Isn't this the effect after a fall and concussion. But whats it's telling us is all the old deadwood in US politics need to be removed and an age limit set in place to keep vibrant minds running the country

that comment on "neurological smile" is so on point with what we see inpatient

Thank you for the insight! Some people are saying early signs of Alzheimers but the localized seizure theory sounds strong as well. 👏 👏 👏

From another viewpoint you can see the lady trying to pry his hands from the podium. Does that fit with focal seizures? Also if he is having seizures, how can that impact decision-making abilities? Also what's the difference between a focal and absence seizures? So many questions...Thank you!

Thank you for your observations. Thank you!!

This is so scary to look at.

If these aged politician's could, they would pass legislation decreeing themselves to serve posthumously. There that addicted to power and greed!

It's called KARMA he's a GREEDY POLITICIAN!!!

I get the impression the woman was also trying to move his hand off the lectern, but it seems he was gripping it quite tightly. Maybe it's also the reason why he looked down at his hands shortly after.

I cannot imagine how unsettling it must be for people who have that kind of episode… Do they realize? My Grand-Father had Alzheimer’s disease… I always wondered how it must have been for him at stage 1 or 2 when he was still able to grasp that something was wrong…

Back in the 1960s, one of my cousins with epilepsy had both petit mal and grand mal seizures. Twice the latter happened when she in the shower. The first time she was waiting for the hot water to come on and when it did, she had fallen down and couldn’t turn it off and was burned and required hospitalization. The second time she also fell down but this time she drowned. She was only 18. So this doctor mentioning showers was relevant.

Dr. Ossareh, the senate physician along with neurologists just medically cleared Mcconnell, saying it was a result of his concussion and dehydration played a factor. What are your thoughts?

I like how some these videos have been altered so that instead of awkward silence it's a long continuous fart. Bravo!

This looks like the same thing my brother use to do. He also had a TBI. He would just lock up and stare out into nowhere for a few seconds, what its called is Absence seizures, Once my brother was on seizure medications he stopped having them. But they do come back over time so that the medication does have to be increased or even changed to a different type.

Not a seizure. He had no idea where he was or what he was doing. He needs a doctor, not a job.

Why is Congress continuing to push Mitch out in front when they know that Mitch more than likely is by no means sound🤔

He has apparently fallen a few times. Once in 2019 he injured his shoulder. But it's well known that he's a polio survivor and it's said he has had trouble climbing stairs. Recently he has fallen at least once, some reports say more than once. It's reported he had a concussion as he hit his head. So if it's seizures. It's hard telling if he fell because of a seizure or that injury to his head may have brought on seizures. Just a guess. I may not like him as a politician, but he's a human being and I wish him the best!

Clearly the Gates of Hell are opening to Welcome the man .

I was against the argument that these old guys should step down purely because of age.... Until Mitch started seizing.

Focal seizure ‘ - one part of brain has a seizure ….

No one mentions that the trigger for both of these episodes was when he was asked if he was going to run again. I think that is playing a very strong role in the expansion, I'm guessing, this is/was his life.

I generally don't like Senator Mitch McConnell but I am very sorry now for him now that I know he is experiencing strokes and focal seizures.

I am not pleased that the capitol attending physician does not see that something is wrong with Mitch McConnell.

I have the same problem I'm 19 and I have epilepsy and I have the same episodes I'm aware of my surroundings but my body tenses and I can't do anything. I stare off and can't speak. This happens a lot but I have medication so I can prevent it but sometimes it still happens once in a while. I feel bad for the Senator because once you have it you can't do anything. It makes my life a living hell and I hope he can have the correct treatment.

He’s a Manchurian canadate.

What a cliff hanger, can't wait for Episode 3!

Thank you for the analysis and honesty doctor. Only if Mitch's physician was as concerned about the facts instead of telling Mitch what he wants to hear. I'm sure being on his payroll is a factor.

Senator Mitch McConnell, your health care is important it's time for a term limit or step down due to health reason you must give up your seat.

What could be causing the seizures? Good video thanks. Hope he gets better soon

The old devil overheated 😂😂

I know what to call it--a relief.

do bidens gaffs and confusion and constant falling episodes next please! great video!!

Tonight I pray for United States Senator Mitch McConnell as he is a very sick man. His Wife should assist and push that he step down and retire and see to concentrating on his health.His mind is breaking down on him. I pray he gets real help and gets well. Retire and rest.

He needs to step down from his job and retire .

*Episode

That fall he had in march really messed him up time to retire

Sometimes you have to put health before power

Looks like he was having a software update

Can't our professional Doctors step forward together? He's unfit at this point NOW.

The Turtle really needs to retire and get medical attention

He's thinking what sort of Coffin he's having!

Are you sure he's not just upset by the topic-- maybe struggling to compose himself?

He's just " buffering" come on man.

There are several politicians that are too old and need to retire. Biden is also too old. We need term limits.

Check orthostatics (for real). Its more likely a faint than a fit.

Misspelled EPISODE on thumbnail. Just saying.

palpatine

TIA?

So sad… he was looking so good when he ran for reelection. Shortly after reelection he took some time I think and ended up having what looked like bruised hands. Basically black and blue blood filled hands. Do you know what could have caused that?

We shouldn't be making fun of him or Joe Biden. This could be your father or your grandfather

……about time this old bloke was retired on health grounds, before he drops during a news’ conference………permanently………

Whoa. He has gone downhill fast. He doesn’t look like he’s long for the world. I don’t know how else to say it.

All politics aside, having such an episode on video has got to be worth a ton to help his doctor diagnose, I would imagine. Not everyone is so lucky.

I freeze, you freeze, we all freeze for..................fzzk...I froze.

Might be some tech equipment blasting him from one of the so called reporters,check their equipment.ultra high frequency attack.

He definitely needs to retire ASAP.

This looks like dimensia

Needs Kepra

"BRING OUT YOUR DEAD!"

It’s elder abuse Washington DC style.

My favorite pizza Is Little Seizures

Just Satan calling in a payment of a past due Debt. A Soul is late. 👀😳

Early stage of dementia.....

It's episode,another typographical error.He needs to retire asap.

….. Could it merely be an incontinence episode ? Nothing too serious ?

Hard reboot

This is about not answering questions. Wont be a 2026

That’s a kind way, I was saying brain dead

COULD HE BE HAVING A CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA OR OTHER TYPE OF CARDIAC EVENT?. AHAHAHA AHAHAHA LOL

He needs to retire asap.

KARMA for betraying Trump.

I stroking to the East I stroking to the West and I stroking to the 🐢 that I love the best. I be stroking 😅

You are getting old if live that long. Look at you kids they well face getting old too. So get old happy.

old greedy billionaire😂

No its an altered reality episode where a visual hallucination overpowered his real world conception. Plain and clear as his intent was flly formed but ORIGINAL INTENT/SIN is there under all forms if you get my drift. HE WILL PLEAD SENILITY AT THE LAST MOMENT. take bets w/ englendNOW now nowNOWNWONWONWONWOWONW

Dude, do you have Mitch helping you with your titling? Messing up the title of your post is ridiculous.
