"I never considered myself a lucky man...never won a raffle, never made a dime on the ponies...but then the doctors told me I developed a rare disease...Eisenstein Syndrome. It affects one in two-point-five million people...it eats you from the inside...starting with the nervous system...ending with the brain. How's that for lucky?"
