Monday-Tuesday petit mal exacerbations in a successful executive.
An executive reported Monday-Tuesday exacerbations of petit mal epilepsy for months at a time over a 29-year span. He had achieved rapid business promotions and, for unknown reasons, also had a good safety record in operating risky machinery. Such cycles were greatly influenced by his weekend activity. His success in a demanding discipline has been a useful example when counseling young people with similar epilepsy.
