Sir,
    That kind of testimonial does not constitute medical evidence, nor
in fact evidence of any other kind.  (I happen to know that  the  real
problem  is  your  maternal  grandfather,  who  carried  the genes for
Alzheimer susceptibility...)  So don't  pan  the  pans,  man.   You're
gonna get what you're gonna get.
