"You never know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice." - Doctor (this one I like) said to his patient quoting Bob Marley when patient was complaining about their weakness in the face of dementia. He was lonely and didn't have any family/ friend to look after him. Facts: The patient is not demented and their #BrainSee test score came out low, suggesting that he is more similar to those who have NOT progressed to Alzheimer's dementia even 5 years after their amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) diagnosis. The doctor considered the patient's clinical context as well (a requirement we enforce for using #BrainSee) and in the end concluded that the patient is more likely going to be fine and stay stable aMCI or even improve if they change their lifestyle/ mindset. Patient was reassured and happy. Doctor asked are you sure you don't have any family/ friends? What about a community? He said no. Doctor asked why? He said I'm a difficult person. I don't approve things easily and I see flaws in people right away. Doctor (smiling): Why not start your own community? A community of people you approve and have similar standards as yourself. Patient felt empowered and highly motivated when leaving doctor's office. Wanna learn more about #BrainSee? Dr. Kaveh Vejdani, MD (Our Chief Medical and Technology Officer) will be presenting at Harvard Medical School next week. More info will come soon.
