Here is a man with a high level of intelligence and curiosity, an attentive wife with similar skills and doctors who are engaged if puzzled medical. He lives where he has access to some of the best medical care around, and he has the skills to maximize the value of that access.

Yet only luck and perhaps the natural course of the disorder resolves it. I kept thinking of the people who lack his skills (nearly everybody) and his access (many and perhaps growing.) What would they have done? It seems that his doctors at least "did no harm." Probably this was conscious caution. It's a good lesson.; 4/22/14, 2:11 PM
