#Ranting and how much of it is actually pathological. Potentially a misdiagnosis which is insane

[stuckinapril]

Every time I have a day at the neuro clinic I have sooo many stories for u guys like I really had to go out of my way today not to spam the dash w how this one visit went. So much tea

#This patient was diagnosed w FTD since 2013 but it makes no sense bc most cases see a life expectancy of 2 years since the diagnosis #And the neurologist I shadow was telling me how the patient and his wife have a “troubled marriage” & she can’t tell how much of it is her #Ranting and how much of it is actually pathological. Potentially a misdiagnosis which is insane #A stark difference from the first case I saw where the FTD patient was a heart surgeon diagnosed in October #And he had a rapid decline since then :( #Also my neurologist is so smart like she could tell from very simple cognitive tests if the dementia is FTD or is from other areas #Of the brain #I watched in awe today while she looked over a couple of memorization exercises and just casually listed diff parts of the brain #Im actually so in love w her rn #She’s also rly funny #This is my goal in life I want to be her one day
