Senator's Dementia Force off Job?
Saturday, October 06, 2007 - FreeMarketNews.com
Four prominent neurologists say they cannot see how Sen. Pete Domenici can continue his work as a U.S. senator given his diagnosis with frontotemporal lobar degeneration, a type of dementia. September tests showed Sen. Pete Domenici's brain disorder had progressed since an April checkup. The disease attacks the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, which control judgment, complex decision-making, communication, mood and behavior. None of the four doctors is treating Domenici, nor is any familiar with his case, but all have treated patients with frontotemporal lobar degeneration, or FTLD.
