In the (Australian) News Today ...

In the news this morning, it stated a 56 year old woman was buying Xmas decorations at a shopping center, she had a grand mal in the car park, and some guy stole all her money while she lay there on the ground.
She had only just got her pension, so now she had $1.60 left for two weeks.
Isn't that awful.

Not just interesting, but my 8 1/2 yr. old does have seizures when her teeth are brushed. I wonder if it was a blind study or not?
