Dr. Gupta 'nervous' before getting the results of his Alzheimer's test

Facing concerns about his own family history of Alzheimer’s, CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta visits preventive neurologist Dr. Richard Isaacson to have his own risk for dementia assessed in the CNN documentary “The Last Alzheimer’s Patient.” At the Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases of Florida, Dr. Isaacson is leading a novel clinical trial focused on tracking and treating the aging brain through tools like comprehensive cognition tests and new, experimental blood biomarker measurements. Watch the full documentary on CNN’s “The Whole Story” premiering on May 19th at 8p et/pt and streaming on MAX on June 18

Yes, it’s a “sick care“ system, not a “Healthcare“ system. Unfortunately, for some of us who are sick, we still can’t even get help. It’s wonderful that some people can afford to have all this testing done to prevent disease. But I have been limping on a hip with bursitis for over two years, activities of daily living are difficult, some are impossible. And I can’t get a shot for my hip so that I can go back to being productive. Ever since the bursitis started in April 2022, my health is declined because my activity level has diminished. That sucks. I’m sure that’s how all die, ignored by “sick care” system. And the people who are important will be able to live longer, healthier lives.

Unfortunately, regular people won’t be able to have these tests done because our insurance will DENY!

[@lindaabraham8715]

Dr. Gupta: I disagree regarding the benefit of a rucksack or weighted vest. I think it exacerbates the spinal compression that inevitably affects everyone with age, leading to a bent back or dowagers hump, chronic hip and lower back pain, and sciatica. I say this from my own experience. For many years I carried a backpack around the campus where I studied and worked, and while on a bicycle which I rode to work on and everywhere else. I am now 71, and battle these conditions every day. Perhaps there is a short-term advantage to using a weight above the hips, but the long-term cost is not worth it.

[@margarethakloots5287]

Then what! You do tests and find out you have risk for Alzheimer’s What are you going to do? There is no cure why do you want to know a risk if that’s the case??

I don't want to get tested for anything.... if you don't follow their recommendations, you are non-compliant and can be dropped from insurance. I will continue to take the best care I can of myself.... myself.

Obviously you do not know the signs of Alzheimer’s. Actually, Joe Biden exhibits many of the signs. Confusion, loss of words, loses train of thought, confusing when things happened and even mentions things that clearly have never happened, forgets people have died and most visibly his gait. Just to name a few. Just because you do not like Trumps personality, his demeanor or his politics doesn’t mean he has dementia.
