why didn't she catch the poor man, at the end?? sheesh, lady.

Watched this last night and forgot to upvote. I was diverted by looking for video of the goats with the myotonia, undoubtedly a similar phenomena. Alas, there was already a similar sift, so I dropped it. You ARE going medical on us.

Why doesn't he wear one of those medical bracelets to let the emergency responders know about his condition?

...and am I a bad person for laughing when he falls over at the end?

As far as I am aware there is no such bracelet, national recognised or otherwise, there is only one for diabetics as far as I am aware.

I saw a videoclip of this lady who had a laughing-disorder.. She burst out in uncontrollable laughter, whenever wherever.. She had a big sign around her neck that she held up when she was laughing, explaining her disease.

I might have considered tattooing something like "Cataplexy and Narcolepsy Suck!" on my forehead if I was that guy..

narcolepsy i know of, but *wtf this is a strange combo Its the same with diabetics with low sugar, they can start slurring their spech - people just think they are drunk

i would say *documentaries for this too ooh and *1sttube

That's a natural defense.. the body waking up when it hits the ground.

It's supposed to keep from going comatose when fainting.

I guess it doesn't work for him.

this space for rent... i suggest you tattoo medical instructions on your dome! no joke.
