In all fairness, she copied the bit about people only having cognitive tests if there's concern from me. Yesterday I posted that, contrary to what several ppl here over 65 have said, that cognitive tests might be given if there's a reported or observed issue -- based SOLELY on the fact that, at age 70, my physician has never (so far) suggested it. As I clarified above, when pointing out that Toxic is wrong as always, it is a mandated test, but according to the link I also posted, up to a third of Medicare patients have not been given them. I speculated that perhaps it's because they are unaware. (See Post #244.
I am a retired dementia care nurse. Like Geeko, I find it execrable when Toxic and others here use dementia as a slur, as a personal attack. She's not a nurse, physician, or any other sort of medical professional. She's not even a "retired teacher," or any other sort of educator. She has used her pretend career as a bludgeon to Internet-misdiagnose others, mock their disabilities, and encourage others to do so as well. She does this in a very personal sense, with other forum members, not as a political statement.
If offered a choice between being like Toxic or having dementia, I'll take dementia. My dementia people were almost all sweet, gentle, lovable, child-like human beings.
