My Patient Swears Her Whole Family Is Impostors
My new patient, Lydia Baldwin, has called the police 99 times.
Her voice trembles with fear as she says, "My son has a mole on his neck, but the one now doesn't! My husband used to throw up at the smell of cilantro. But now, he eats it every day and even enjoys it!
"They are impostors! Why won't the police arrest them?"
I am deeply shocked.
Because just half an hour earlier, I met her son. He had dark circles under his eyes as he handed me Lydia's medical records.
"My mom has Alzheimer's disease. She doesn't just forget things now. She talks nonsense too. Please, you have to help her come to her senses."
But I specialize in treating Alzheimer's.
Lydia's memory is sharp. Her logic is clear and well-supported. She isn't sick at all.
