St. Cloud neurologist Dr. Kathleen Rieke tells MPR's Daily Circuit that it's "ridiculous" to blame University of Minnesota football coach Jerry Kill's seizures solely on the stress of his job:

 

"When it comes to seizures, certainly increased stress can be a trigger -- particularly lack of sleep, poor diet, poor exercise associated with that stress can be an issue. But stress is a normal part of life. We all have stress from raising kids and work and day-to-day activities."
