Or he’s lying because he doesn’t want to admit to having the cognitive issues he clearly has. Or possibly just because he’s so used to lying at this point it’s just automatic.
Ah yes, that’s probably the most likely. Although I could also just see him not being informed what’s going on in his body because they think he’ll just blab it out one day.
I mean this is hypothetical but they could have told him the general stuff without the details of what’s actually wrong. Like “something is wrong with your pancreas” instead of “your pancreas is utterly failing because of xyz”. I’ve personally experienced doctors doing this with my own medical issues (I found out later by switching doctors) and while it’s salacious to not tell a patient the entire truth, some asshole doctors don’t. Add in that patients with dementia are often viewed as incapable so aren’t informed of everything as much and yeah I could see it happening. Especially since if he has dementia then someone is likely more knowledgeable of that situation than him and likely would have been informed of the details of the MRI in full instead of him. This also isn’t far off from what was going on with Reagan.
But this is, again, a hypothetical and it’s much more likely he doesn’t remember or he is lying.

Um, what the fuck? Do you understand how medical consent occurs in America?
This would require someone have the power to consent for him and have medical decision make power. That’s a far more wild accusation.
