----------------------------------------------------------- From: Willard1H Message 1 in Discussion Did anyone hear of this news story today? Columnist Novak diagnosed with brain tumor "BOSTON - Conservative political commentator Robert Novak announced Monday he has been diagnosed with a brain tumor, less than a week after he struck a pedestrian with his Corvette and drove away." According to the article on the former Crossfire host, "Last week, Novak was given a $50 citation after he struck a homeless man with his black Corvette in downtown Washington. Novak kept going until he was stopped by a bicyclist, who said the man was splayed on Novak's windshield. "Dr. Lynne Taylor, a neuro-oncologist at Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle, said residents at the hospital are taught to check for brain tumors in patients who report having a recent car accident in which they didn't realize they struck something. "People get spatial and visual neglect of a certain part of their bodies and they don't realize they've done what they've done," said Taylor, a fellow with the American Academy of Neurology. What a shocking way to learn one has a brain tumor! I got a little sloppy with driving after my MRI but before diagnosis. But no matter how we feel about the guy politically, I hope we feel sympathy for Novak during this hard -- and PUBLIC -- calamity. ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this e-mail, or change how often it arrives, go to your E-mail Settings. http://groups.msn.com/PituitaryChat/_emailsettings.msnw Need help?
