Kramer's Reaction to Mary Hart

[Slo]

I was watching this rerun tonight where Kramer has a seizure
whenever he hears Mary Hart's voice. Either Jerry or Elaine
says it's just like that woman in Albany...

Was this based on a true event? Did anyone have such a
strong aversion to Hart's voice?

In 1991, the New England Journal of Medicine reported that Hart's voice,
perhaps best described as perky, had triggered seizures in an epileptic
woman. [1] This was later referenced in an episode of the NBC sitcom
Seinfeld, where Kramer (Michael Richards) suffers from convulsions
whenever he hears Hart's voice.

Ah, so this is why Elaine makes the connection almost immediately. I was
always a little uneasy with how Elaine figured out what was wrong with the
K-Man so quick but if she knew of this then that makes it all good.

Why in the world would you assume that Elaine didn't read each and every
issue of the New England Journal of Medicine? After all, she had an IQ of
156. Or was it 80?
