Revealing and tell I mean we of course use it all the time in geriatrics, but cognitive assessment is usually not something that's done alone.
It's done as it should really be done as part of a full assessment of one's physical and cognitive abilities.
And it's always, again, it's not just you don't look at a cognitive assessment in isolation.
You look at it in the context of somebody's function.
and somebody's position and what that you're asking them to do.
I never I I I I didn't have a uh yeah, I did not have a smartphone, Alex, till I was much older than you.
So
Yeah yeah.
I think this complexity, uh uh the advice I would give is don't rush to a diagnosis and don't give the simple answer maybe the media person in front of you wants.
That this is a complex situation.
And I think you know, some of us were talking as a group yesterday of like it's actually not a uncommon situation in geriatrics where

So and it could lead to lots of different outcomes.
So I think

I don't think it's I I wouldn't urge people to say that because it's not honest.
At the same time to say
Yes.
