    Yeah, the quiet part of his bragging is that they don’t ask you to do those tests unless they suspect you have dementia. The tests are a diagnostic tool, not a prophylactic.

    It’s like saying “nah I’m not worried about cancer! My doctor keeps asking me to come in for more imaging tests. I had four MRI scans this month already, so I know I’m fine!” Why do you think those imaging tests were ordered? It’s not because your doctor thought you were healthy.
