I would say that but otherwise this person, as indicated, is smart but also is a reasonable and respected person in all other areas of their life. It doesn't make sense.
I don't need to see medical records. Just being there and asking simple questions to the personnel I can see what's going on and it's usually far better than what I was told. When I asked a nurse recently they were absolutely sure that what I was told was completely wrong. The patient is not in perfect health but they are definitely not in the "dire straights" that I was made to believe was the case. Definitely not.
