Kramer seems to get a lot of physical problems, some more esoteric than others:

Water in the ear from swimming (The Finale) Craggy skin and yellow/brown teeth from constant smoking (The Abstinence) Cough, similar to one that Smuckers the dog had (The Andrea Doria) Loss of taste buds from fumigation in Jerry's apartment (The Doodle) Over-reaction to novocaine (The Jimmy) "Cooked" himself in butter when sunbathing (The Butter Shave)

Any others?

When I teach intro psych I actually use that episode as an example of contralateral neglect. They haven't done it quite right, but its not bad :-).

What about all the insominia:

when the red glare from the chicken place kept him up when he got the settlement for free coffee and was hopped up on coffee when his blanket was at the cleaners

Wasn't there a time he was really cold having fallen asleep in his spa (and the heater broke down). He couldn't get his 'core temperature' up.

Amnesia from getting hit in the head in 1979:

Kramer: I wouldn't walk over there.

Jerry: Why not?

Kramer: It's the most dangerous part of the sidewalk. Cab hops a curb, wap! You've had your last egg sandwich.

Jerry: What about over there? You know air conditioners fall out all the time.

Kramer: I'd much rather get hit by an 80 pound air conditioner than a two ton cab.

Jerry: No, cab's comin' in right here (Hand at waist) Set of plastic hips, prosthetic legs, and a monkey to answer the door, I'm back in business.

Kramer: Much rather take it to the head, Like I did in '79.

Jerry: You were livin' in the village then, right?

Kramer: Don't really remember.

Getting shocked when trying to short-circuit Elaine's neighbor, Mr. Potato Man in "The Slicer"

Being pummeled by the karate kids ("The Foundation"), by the street toughs and the AIDS walkers ("The Sponge"), and by Mickey pretty much every time he appeared

Being knocked unconscious by a tennis ball machine in "The Comeback"

And it's not like he can go to a human doctor, because now they have a chart on him. Besides, he'd rather visit a vet because a vet has to be able to cure a lizard, a chicken, a pig, and a frog all on the same day.
