2. “A juror’s inability to come to the courthouse due to a severe gastrointestinal ailment provides some evidence of the requisite incapacity from performing the duties assigned to that juror that the trial court may consider in making a determination of disability.

3. “"Rule 803(4) is premised on the patient’s selfish motive in receiving appropriate treatment.” This motive is no longer present once a diagnosis has been made and treatment has begun.
