No, this isn't about getting fired for writing reviews, apparently it's a legitimate brain problem. Here's a link:  http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/gerstmanns/gerstmanns.htm  
 
Symptoms include: "  a writing disability (agraphia or dysgraphia), a lack of understanding of the rules for calculation or arithmetic (acalculia or dyscalculia), an inability to distinguish right from left, and an inability to identify fingers (finger agnosia). " 
 
I know this has nothing to do with Giant Bomb's Gerstmann other than his name, but it's still funny to find things like this.  
 
Also, there is no cure. I'm sorry.

I thought Gerstmann syndrome was finding the path of least resistance and exploiting it in every game.

This makes me think of a society in which we're all named after our diseases. Not a pleasant society to be in...

That might be why Gerstmann gets terrified when people point at him - he probably thinks they're holding some type of exotic weapon. "

The main symptoms of Scanlon's Syndrome are night-sweats and dirt-tongue.
