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.
