I just recived an e-mail from an angry mother for a comment made on entertainment tonight Mary Hart was doing an interview with Paula Abdoul,Paula was explaing a dance she thought was cute from a contestant, Mary Hart replied with a laugh you look like your having a seizure! like having seizures is something to laugh at? I know I am extra sensitive to this topic but I don't think a natoinal television show should treat it like a laughing matter!

Thats is so wierd that you mention that. My son had his first seizure approx 7 weeks ago. While we were in the emergency room, I was asking a million questions, one being, "What would trigger a seizure?" The Dr told me it could be anything. She went on to say "I saw one patient who had seizures which were triggered by the sound of Mary Hart's voice. Something in her coice would trigger a seizure for him. Even though he no longer watches the program, he was flipping channels and heard her voice for a second and had a seizure". Maybe she should know this!!!
