Sadly, this reminds me of post-arthroplasty patients who were misdiagnosed with dementia prior to the discovery that metallosis from chrome-cobalt components were the common denominator, leading to the onset of “Arthroplastic Cobalt Encephalopathy.” Imagine all of those who went without revision.

Wish I had the expertise to try to better understand how a general consensus amongst medical professionals like that of the mysterious brain illness case goes unchallenged for so long. Is it due to lack of clinical curiosity, confirmation/anchoring bias, overreliance on heuristics…?
