@rorysutherland AI tells me it’s a diminutive nickname for Nemesio which he adopted in honor of his godfather. More entertainingly Wikipedia tells me he was also known as ‘El Señor de los Gallos’ (The Lord of the Roosters).

Key Facts:

1 - Early Onset: Epileptic seizures often appear up to 10 years before a frontotemporal dementia diagnosis.

2 - High Prevalence: About 11% of FTD patients developed epilepsy within five years of diagnosis.

3 - Underdiagnosed Risk: Overlapping symptoms may lead to missed epilepsy diagnoses, worsening patient outcomes.

@gilescoren @BBCRadio4 If you look at the report on the 1867 Manchester and Liverpool agricultural Society’s Meeting (on pg 294 of The Farmers Magazine) you’ll see there’s nothing new about this kind of sloppy speech. Perhaps you’ve left it too late to make a stand?
