Dr. Sanjay Gupta (CNN.com) mis-informed about FTD
4/23/2009 - Dr. Sanjay Gupta, a very well respected member of the medical community (you may see him on CNN or on videos in your Doctor's office) discussed Frontotemporal Dementia in his blog recently. He gave a response to a question regarding FTD by discussing Alzheimer’s disease - he did not seem to know about the diagnosis of FTD. It’s possible to post responses on the website and AFTD is encouraging people to do that.
If you've read our book, or know anything about FTD, we ask that you please comment on the blog in hopes that he retracts his response and gives voice to this horrible disease. In memory of Bob, we thank you!
