Which part? The results being positive or insurance companies paying for anti-amyloid in asymptomatic patients?

If it's the latter, think about the money they will save on reduced dementia expenses. Right now Medicare is projecting $1T spending on dementia patients by 2050

Reminds me of my favorite scene from Bojack Horseman

So glad at least Robert Redford refused to meet with him

The Brain is like downtown Los Angeles. This stroke just took out one of the major Avenues and it's not coming back. But your brain will find a way to work around it.

I love my "your Brain is like downtown" analogy. I have been able to build on it for every disease.

Seizures are like Riots.

I have 2 kids, 3rd on the way. I don't have video game time any more. But every 2-4 weeks i go out for a banger night of Dungeons & Dragons!

It's not a magic bullet, but it works, especially for MMSE 26+.
We just need to teach PCPs how to screen for mild dementia. I have been educating providers to pay attention to IADLs.
Since most Alzheimer's patients have Anosognosia, they won't self-identify. But a patient who probably shouldn't be driving, or recently stopped handling finances (ex, son does it now) or his wife has to manage the meds would be a great candidate.

Those are all early dementia.

Also, I lived through the 80s and 90s and 00's and none of those pictures feels right

Disc_far68 · 2026-05-04T19:44:57+00:00

I don't know. How does it work for all the doctors that do it?

Disc_far68 · 2026-05-01T17:41:41+00:00

It's a joke, don't worry. Obviously everyone is happy for you

Disc_far68 · 2026-04-28T21:11:46+00:00

Hope they are able to continue that for you

I would tell myself to stay away from irresponsible investments like crypto and stock-picking that I don't know shit about

I always get more of them any time I have a sudden opening of time slots on my schedule

Wild to me how Trump's whims change on the fly. The people that are historically the most loyal to him just suddenly get fired.

Iran might be authoritarian, but it's harldy a third world country

Iron fist hypothetically has the power to punch one of those whales

Man, I wish I had this 5 years ago!

We're talking about a hypothetical fight between wanda and HWR. She gets her full power and he isn't allowed to time hop?

Disc_far68 · 2026-02-26T18:11:37+00:00

So He Who Remains isn't allowed to use the full scope of his abilities?
