Here's their headline today: What Donald Trump's Mental Health Exam Doesn't Tell Us

quote:
says Dr. Ziad Nasreddine, who developed the assessment in 1996. “It’s unlikely that [Trump] has dementia or Alzheimer’s.”
Unlikely, but not impossible, says Dr. Paul J. Moberg, the clinical director of neuropsychology service at the University of Pennsylvania’s medical school.
“Just because a person gets a 30 out of 30 doesn’t mean you wouldn’t pick up even very significant impairments in further testing,” he said. “A more comprehensive neurological exam would be required to really tease that out.”
In some cases, he said, families might bring in a patient because he or she is demonstrating clear signs of dementia, such as memory loss or confusion, and the patient will ace the MoCA — only to be confirmed as having a serious deficit when given a comprehensive test that can take anywhere from three hours to a day.
“The MoCA is a wonderful cognitive screening test. But that’s what it is: a screening test,” says Moberg’s colleague David R. Roalf, a research assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania Department of Psychiatry. “It doesn’t necessarily speak to competency, per se.” Moberg agreed: “A screening measure is not enough to assess competency.”

The guy is getting companies to come back and reinvest in the US and is partially responsible for SK/NK talks but he's not competent?

Just doing their job: fact checking an objective evaluation process, by inserting their own subjective opinion.

All that matters, is that Mueller declares him unfit for office.

Perfect. Let them continue to make complete fools of themselves.

Let them say what they will. I have two grandparents suffering from dementia. When someone has it, you know. Cut the shite and move on to the next talking point.

Why do people still read these rags?
We cancelled in 1988,
a rep called and said why?
We said your rag is just liberal b.s.
Nothing changed over the ensuing years.

The sad truth is that Pelosi proves on almost a daily basis that she probably has some form of dementia. She loses concentration. She misstates names and places. She stares blankly when she should be talking.
Trump simply takes stances they vehemently disagree with.
One is truly showing signs of Illness. They other just disagrees with their way of life.
What amazes me are doctors breaking their oath by diagnosing Trump when he isn't their patient and they have zero medical history on Trump. About time for someone to lodge a complaint to the board. They are CLEARLY and I do mean CLEARLY violating their oath.
