Well, you are right. Diagnosis is often proven by treatment. And alzheimers is proven by autopsy.
50% in the bottom half. That's too, too funny. I always say the chance of rain is 50% (maybe it will, maybe it won't)
It doesn't matter at this point *why* they kept the diagnosis to themselves. The important thing right now is that fires disagreed with the diagnosis because some symptoms went away with a med change, and there were tests that explained the others.
He stood up for himself by telling the new doc that if she believed the diagnosis, despite the evidence to the contrary, that he would find someone else.
I know I would have a hard time getting up the nerve to do that.
