Things That Bang

Terry Pratchett has Alzheimer's:

After announcing his diagnosis, Pratchett added a post script: "I would just like to draw attention to everyone reading the above that this should be interpreted as 'I am not dead'. I will, of course, be dead at some future point, as will everybody else. For me, this maybe further off than you think - it's too soon to tell. I know it's a very human thing to say 'Is there anything I can do,' but in this case I would only entertain offers from very high-end experts in brain chemistry." ®

There is no get well soon to this rare kind of an Alzheimer's disease. And yeah we all have to die at some point or the other but when gifted people die that much of contribution is deprived from the world's repository of culture and arts.
