JOE BIDEN'S BRAIN: CONFABULATING JOE

As I've said before, Joe Biden has brain issues, including two brain surgeries for aneurysms in 1988. Just a few months ago, he welcomed Representative Gabrielle Giffords to the cracked head club upon to her return to Congress.

Simply put, Joe Biden confabulates. Psychiatric definition of the term:

to replace the gaps left by a disorder of the memory with imaginary remembered experiences consistently believed to be true.

Learn more about the fascinating phenomenon of confabulation at Wikipedia. Clearly, confabulation is often connected to wishful thinking and is not a deliberate lie in the strict sense of the word....

Joe Biden's Brain

Joe Biden does say the most outrageous things. For example, see this post and this post at Infidel Bloggers Alliance.


Now, check out confabulation, from Wiki:

In psychology, Confabulation is the spontaneous narrative report of events that never happened. It consists usually of the creation of false memories, perceptions, or beliefs about the self or the environment as a result of neurological or psychological dysfunction. When it is a matter of memory, confabulation is the confusion of imagination with memory, or the confused application of true memories. Confabulations are difficult to differentiate from delusions and from lying.

[...]

Patients who have suffered brain damage or lesions, especially to the prefrontal cortical regions, may have confabulation of memories as a symptom.

Biden has undergone two surgeries for brain aneurysms.

I know a bit about confabulation because Mr. AOW's stroke on the right side of the brain produces confabulation to a certain extent.

Furthermore, because of this confabulation, Mr. AOW has been deemed legally incompetent.

The right side of the brain produces confabulations under certain conditions and can produce ideas of euphoria, despite real threats to one's well being.

Now, tell me again, why is Biden a heartbeat away from the Presidency?

Looking at Doctors and Drugs

Hootsbuddy's Place has a look at how doctors prescribe psychoactive drugs. Not a pretty picture. As Hootsbuddy says:

This remarkable young woman is changing the way I look at people, medicine and just about everything else.

So go read the whole thing.
