Menino leaves hospital, hands out chocolate lollipops

Candy? Think of the sugar - oh, the humanity!

I wish I could find a link to the little pamphlet of journal articles put out by the Swiss sponsors of the next international public health conference that I attend every year. They wanted to be sure that everyone knew how good eating chocolate is for your health (so we will come to Switzerland and eat it while attending the next conference, naturally).

I'd guess they guy has been through few TIAs well before this, but how does it matter?

Consider this: people who have strokes do not always or even usually lose cognitive function. They can lose motor and speech skills, which may lead some to think they have lost cognition because of our socialized ignorance and bias about people who stumble and slur their words, but still retain full cognition.

The focus should be on durable criteria for transparent transfer of authority to a temporary should that be necessary. Even if he did have stroke, it may not have been necessary.
