As a GP I have also had doubts about the Amyloid theory for a while; good to know I am not alone.
The Mini Mental State Exam is a screening test, not diagnostic; but suspect I am not the only clinician who finds simply talking to people generally more helpful, particularly with those known to me from before.
Height analogy good 👍
With regard to drugs, we have been here before; the value of Donepezil/Aricept was vastly oversold for example.
Thanks.
Excellent.
