As a son of a specialist physician, I know full well how hard it can be to connect the dots between random symptoms and a problem that's actually in the brain. It's not rare for such confirmed diagnoses to become case presentations (which is how I know 😉).

Shit.

Glad it had a happy ending (as much as possible anyway). Also very interesting! Especially the bit about it being difficult to getting stuck in a psychiatric hospital.

I also find it interesting how much it took before they went to the hospital. #merica.

Yep. If he wasn't a man, and/or was of a lower class, he'd probably still be stuck in psychiatry.

Is it just me, or is the "among others" in the title made it sound like an outbreak, instead of referring to other projects?

That misdiagnosis could've cost him his life. Crazy...

Glad he's alright.
