your search engine implies “seizures” as the symptom but given the existence of provoked/symptomatic seizures, not all seizures meet criteria for epilepsy as your edit now suggests. And most epilepsies aren’t intractable. Which is the point about its impact on employment/ job duties.
My search engine...? I think theres a language barrier here. Also I think my edit predates your reply, I'll have to check on desktop later. I usually do grammar edits while on mobile.
EDIT: Yeah my edit predates the reply by over 5 minutes.
You'll get the point for checking. Unfortunately this doesn't tell us what your original post was and I surely don't refresh continuously to see the edits when I send my responses. It's also entirely beside the point.
Intractable epilepsy (as in having frequent breakthrough seizures that is failed to be controlled on at least 2 adequately chosen medications), which I'd been repeatedly pointing to, may impact someone's ability to work as a judge and can absolutely lead to medical retirement. Also, SUDEP's incidence is about 1 in a 1000 patient years and the most telling part that epilepsy's still left off the causes of deaths of a third of those cases. https://www.neurology.org/doi/abs/10.1212/WNL.0000000000004094
