- In this video we analyze the staring episode of Senator Mitch McConnell. Given his staring episode we have concern for seizure and unfortunately concern for brain tumor or bleed given his older age.

2:15 This type of "focal seizure" is especially scary if you consider someone driving at seventy miles per hour in moderately heavy traffic. A thirty-second episode of non-responsiveness translates to about six-tenths of a mile out of control if it makes it that far.
I love when professionals give their professional opinion, tragic that mainstream news cant ask for people like you to give their opinions more often
I couldnt agree more. Every news agency is acting like its some big mystery. When he had his first one , I knew exactly what it was because this exact thing happened me 3-4 times before I was diagnosed with full blown epilepsy. Any neurologist worth their salt could have told you EXACTLY what DocOssareh just said within minutes after he had that first episode Bravo Doc👍👍👍
I have focal seizures just like that so I recognized it immediately
The way his jaw recessed and tightened makes me think it was definitely a seizure..
please make more of this kind of videos
Inshallah
Man there can be subtle and gradual cognitive impairment, especially after 70. We need both lower and upper age limits for civil service.
I’ve been watching your videos since 2013 when I started med school. I’m now an attending and continue to watch ur channel.Keep it up doc!
Great video!! Please keep showing these types of medical breakdowns! ❤
Keep doing it bro, I love it, deeper medical reactions to such situations would be even more appreciated, thanks for all your content
Excellent presentation. Thank you.
That was fascinating to watch
Doc, you state “eyes are still midline”…but in a closeup you can see the small jerking/twitching of his eyes. Coupled with tightened jaw pulled inward, and the fact that he swayed as if about to fall over…sure looks like seizure.
Hey DocOssareh- glad to have you back. I agree it's stroke vs seizure, but focal seizure/absence at his age vs TIA? He has a known cardiovascular history with previous bypass. He also had a fall in March at which time we would presume he had a head CT or MRI which could have detected an underlying malignancy? Not sure if he had a medical workup after this but he definitely needs an MR, EEG, CTA etc.
Yay! More videos!
Focal point seizures from a flashing light. I don't know what they call it anymore.
YES, It's a focal point seizure. Lots of stress, booze, etc.
Any lesion on the brain will give ya focal points forever.
He can live for another decade and have multiple focal points.
If ya ever go to a Casino and a jackpot is hit..... you may see this type of seizure.
Flashing ambulance, police, fire trucks.... the people who run into the vehicle with a flashing red light. That's the biggest kicker for focal points.
Even the Brits are smart enough to have no red flashing lights.
I'd try to publish this but it's to important. A white flash can do a focal point. Depends how tired or stressed a person is. The red flashing lights are a guarantee. The red flashers could at least not flash at a defined frequency.
Anyone ever heard of the Mackinaw Bridge? Frequency. People are susceptible to frequency just like an engineers debacle.
I just would like everyone to be as brilliant as me rather than theorizing B.S. for fame.
Move along, nothing to see. No big deal. It happens. Mitch will be fine even if not many like a 100 year old politician like I don't.
He ain't going nowhere...... just gonna be a ban on picture taking. Pi$$ on the public, instead of retiring an old goat that is gonna go focal point every time his picture is taken.
50 years a politician is 45 years to long.
Well here we are and it's the second episode on live TV 🤦🏻♀️ money sure is powerful to even overlook your own well being for it and not retire
Probably a seizure 2ry to a vascular insult considering his age (seizure because of rapid return to baseline)
A vascular aetiology should be excluded (even amyloid spells ?)
Please do more, very interesting stuff
Maybe the totality of death he brought upon women and children in the wars he mongered occurred to him, ever so briefly, and it gave him pause. One can hope.
Make more videos like these please
Do another one. He did it again.
Doc nice video . And if you have time and interest can you make videos series about emergency mx of neurological diz ( seizure attack , stroke , TIA , sudden onset weakness ,….)
I have multiple types of epilepsy and when I saw the original video of him "freezing" I thought to myself "That's exactly what I called my petit mals when I was a kid"
Doc O. Great video! Please continue the road to being our favorite YT neurologist! The people want an analysis of Trump and Biden but I understand the hesitantancy. If you could pull it off while being neutral i think you could be ok. Looking forward to next video!
They said that he threw up soon after leaving the podium
Thanks for the video, well explained analysis. Please just proof read the video titles: "Starting episode".
Could we get another video or follow up with the new episode he had today (8/30/23)? Maybe the official cause has been released since last month but I haven’t seen it.
PS Love these videos where we can hear directly from the specialists without the constraints or bias that might come when they appear on official news programming (not necessarily on the part of the professional but whom the network green lights to appear). Earned my sub 👍
They wont let go of power
I appreciate your analysis. What’s your opinion on the president’s multiple falls, aphasia, cognitive status?
Me when i get lightheaded after ripping my bong.
I have had a stroke, have TLE, and grade 2 astrocytoma IDH1 . 💯 a focal seizure. Definitely not a stroke. He had a fall recencently? Do you think a TBI might initiate seizures longterm?
TIA and strokes need immediate attention. Call an ambulance people.
What could have been suspected if he didn't even respond to voice ?
Could the flashing lights of cameras have initiated this if he was more vulnerable. Another episode today, seemingly worse.
absence seizure?
Funny how he shut up after the woman on his right touched his wrist... immediately.
Not Seizers. He had a moral Awakening.
Is absence seizure common at his age? In PA school I’ve only seen it in question stems in peds…but that’s academia. Not real life 🤷🏻♂️
It's similar to absence as far as it being a 5-10 second staring episode that quickly resolves but absence seizures are virtually unheard of in 25+ year old adults. The brainwaves during an absence seizure generate more generalized 3hz spike and wave morphology. Whereas a focal seizure more common in adults would show a localized epileptiform brain morphology, possibly indicative of a tumor or bleed etc as the neurologist mentioned. (Not a MD, just a neurodiagnostic tech speculating)
@@davidstein4059 great explanation, thanks!
It happened again today.
His left eye starts to roll upward. What is that? It's freaky.
Spaz here.... thanks for not saying the words petit mal lololol! Been hearing that phrase thrown around about this. If he truly experienced a petit mal I hope he has a small exorcism to accompany his infestation...... lolol
What leads one to suspect focal vs absence?
Lights
He hasn't sound like himself for over a year.. I think our governor Bashir should ignore the republican-backed bill that states if a senator retires or resigns or departs us. The sitting governor has to replace the senator from a selection of three same party candidates
Too many boosters my opinion....or he's too tired...or too much work he can't handle...or he's completely devastated at the direction that the country is going in
Absence seizure
Is an abscence seizure not likely?
Exactly my thoughts
Mitch broke again today.
That lady stabbed him with something
Genetic therapy jabs are not good
It must be like living a night mare for the dems
No droop on his face?! Uh you may need an eye exam. Also please make a second video with the most recent episode!
Also his almost grey skin colour and obvious excessive perspiration.
It looks to be dementia..he totally checked out and seem confused where he was. Notice he kind of shuffled himself to the side.
No this mdf have dementia.....😆
Come on, this man should just retire and live what is left of his life. Just by looking at him it's time for his family to say, time to retire. People think they can still do the job at this age. This is just the beginning of his medical problems... Give it up man...
Maybe he needs new batteries ?
Is A.I responsible ?
I blame China
