The phenomenon began happening when Spann was 22. He said that while walking down the stairs in his home, blood started to pour from his eyes, nose and mouth. After that, the phenomenon occurred almost daily.

The problem is so horrifying to others that he says he cannot keep a job. Every job he gets, he is dismissed because coworkers cannot handle the sight of him bleeding. He hasn't even been able to attend college. The only good news is that the bleeding only seems to occur once or twice a week now, he says.

Doctors have not been able to determine the cause of the problem, partly because he does not have health insurance and can't afford much testing.

As he told The Tennessean newspaper, "Obviously, I can't be a waiter and work in any public thing because you are bleeding."

Span has become reclusive, fearing now to even leave his house for embarrassment.

His mother, Peggy Spann, told the paper, "I have kids that ride by on bikes in this neighborhood who point and say, ‘That's the guy who bleeds." She also said that her son has encountered situations where he is talking to another person and the bleeding starts.

"They haven't seen it before, and it will scare the living daylights out of them," his mother told the paper. "It is very frustrating not to be able to treat or even get some kind of remission for it."

It is possible that Spann has a rare medical condition known as haemolacria. It's chief symptom is the sufferer cries tears of blood. It is a rare condition but it can be caused by many illnesses, most commonly a tumor of some form. Environmental conditions as well as physical injuries can also cause haemolacria. Sufferers can have multiple episodes per day and they can be triggered by stress.

Historically, such episodes have been associated with the supernatural and with stigmata. In more modern times, doctors have been able to discern causes in most cases, but of the rare cases around the world, some such as Spann's, remain undiagnosed.

This is great. It could be a perfect test case for Obamacare.

Advocates of this ill-advised 'solution' touted it as 'socialized medicine
for the poor' but now it's becoming obvious that it's going to make
MANY MORE OF US 'poor' and so that's why it's 'for us'.

But how would this be a test case, you may ask?

What causes the bleeding to occur? Possibly stress! And Spann is
becoming a recluse because of that very thing: when people stare at
him or react in shock and horror, it causes stress, and at some point,
just knowing that there is a good chance that in a minute or two
someone's going to put their hands to their face, staring at him and
screaming, is enough to stress him out that the bleeding starts
because of the stress that the bleeding might start, basically. What a
lousy state of affairs!

Well, think of how Mr. Spann might be thinking of Obamacare. If he
doesn't like the idea, he'll be fined for not participating: stress,
and perhaps bleeding!

If he does get Obamanable Insurance, he'll be paying premiums 4
years running before he gets any benefits. More stress, more
bleeding!

If and when he finally does get a doctor, there are going to be two or
three administrative overseers between Spann and his doctor who
get in the way of any manner of testing or treatment. More stress,
more bleeding!

And just thinking about the advent of these implications is going to
evoke untold levels of stress before the fact, which can only be the
occasion for more bleeding!

Therefore, Mr. Spann's case ought to be national news so everyone
can have a better idea of what-Obamacare-will-do-for-you. When
everyone can see that this man, whose erstwhile inability to afford
health insurance was something that Obamacare was supposed to
be a SOLUTION for, but Mr. Spann instead is only having WORSE
symptoms of his malady and condition when the so-called solution
comes into play, maybe then everyone will better understand? And
then again, maybe not. After all, many of them voted for the idiot
in the first place.

Unfortunately, national exposure is something Mr. Spann
probably doesn't want, as it will only cause him more
stress........ and you got it, more bleeding.

If I were Mr. Spann, I'd be watching my back, because in the past,
anyone who crossed paths with the Obamanation's agenda was on
a close call risk list for turning up mysteriously Tango Unicorn.

There isn't any reason to think the same doesn't still apply!
