You seem to be completely unaware of Jeff's serious health problems.

 
Not as serious as your problems.

"I am permanently disabled and so is the cop who managed to get me
back from the last step from death."
 
 

Lord knows what the truth of Tom?s disability is, Epilepsy seems likely,
potentially from the concussion maybe some vestibular something as ever his
claims don?t correlate so difficult to know.
 
I absolutely am disabled and probably by quite bit more, my ability to work
and earn and well function is quite reduced from what it was.

 
 
 
 
The neurologist finally came clean and told me that I contracted epilepsy
from the brain damage.
 

Almost certainly though as ever unless there is a nice bit of scar tissue
that can be picked up by scans it’s down to probability, of which it seemed
rather likely that you had Epilepsy for ages just from what you reported.

Hard to say but physical brain trauma can indeed result in
epileptic symptoms.

Absolutely though as our scans are still quite basic, so a brain can appear
normal despite symptoms of brain damage. Doesn’t mean it’s not there just
our scans aren’t sophisticated enough, also just having some scars on the
brain doesn’t mean your chances of epilepsy are 100%

I believe the risks from Epilepsy ie chances post brain injury while
remaining higher than, the population do drop significantly in the first
few years.

 
I knew such a sufferer.  That said, we are not qualified to
decide which was first.
 

Nor would an epilepsy specialist in my experience they tend to work in
probabilities than hard facts, folks can have scars and other things
symptoms free, Epilepsy as with lot of brain conditions sometimes there
isn’t a clear explanation ie no clear cause.

Tom’s case where he reported some sort of head injury, yet claimed though
seeing doctors and prescribed anti seizure medication that it wasn’t
epilepsy I have enough experience both in my work and medical life to know
this is unlikely.

Let alone his history with being arrested for drink driving etc, which adds
in another potential cause, than head trauma, it’s very unlikely they would
of done a scan and found a scar, as no medical justification for such
things, and scans tend to only pick up big stuff.

His posting around this has been inconsistent and so on, hence my cynicism.
