I’ve had contact with her years ago when she visited my place of employment for a while. The woman was no ditz. She may be now, but not then. She was very articulate, insightful, and perfectly capable of intellectual analysis of complex topics.
She writes well and she has been active in Adult Children Of Alcoholics and other things. I just received her new book on aging. She is very accomplished in many areas.
Here’s another horror story from Canada. My daughter-in-law is a doctor there, but that did not protect her. Just from an X-ray she was diagnosed with a growth on her heart. No MRI. The open-heart surgery revealed nothing, no growth, just a mistaken diagnosis. Took her one year to fully recover from the surgery.
