37. Posted this on another thread...Two seizures: Give Roberts what the rest of us get!
Roberts has now had TWO seizures...the one he had in 1993 left him with a suspended driver's license for several months (hopefully this one will too!)

Give him the full deal: Put a diagnosis on record, prescribe anti-seizure drugs, and kick him off the bench as unfit to serve. Let him suffer what the rest of us with epilepsy suffer from: Medication side-effects that make you feel like shit, discrimination, a medical condition that no insurance company will want to cover, and immediate disqualification from a shitload of jobs and careers.

Let him get a taste of the stripped-down Americans with Disabilities Act, since his court ruled that people with epilepsy "aren't disabled enough", and therefore are not entitled to reasonable accomodations on the job! Let Roberts get the discrimination but no accomodations! Just like the rest of us with epilepsy/seizure disorders!

Fuck Justice John Roberts!

Now if everyone will please excuse me, I have to take my next dose of 600 fucking milligrams of fucking Trileptal to control MY fucking seizures because my goddamned insurance company said the surgical procedure that could get me off medication is "experimental" and that they won't pay for it! AND they're 23 days LATE in responding to my appeal! I pay $432.50 per month for coverage when I'm 35 and otherwise healthy but because I have a SEIZURE DISORDER just like JUSTICE ROBERTS, this is the only insurance coverage I can get!

I'm so angry and enraged right now I'm getting a headache! I'm so sick of the "special treatment" these fucking assholes get while people like me have to fight for everything! Assholes!

:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

Please forgive my foul-mouthed rant...I'm just so frustrated!!! :rant:
