Screening of a Netflix "Diagnosis" Episode and Discussion With Drs. Lisa Sanders and Juliette Spelman, on Dec. 5

November 20, 2019

Perhaps you have seen some or all of the Netflix series Diagnosis.

But have you watched it with Dr. Lisa Sanders herself?

Come to a screening of a Diagnosis episode on December 5 in the TAC Auditorium with Dr. Lisa Sanders and special guest Dr. Juliette Spelman.

In this episode, Willie, a 47 year-old Gulf War veteran, begins to show signs of memory loss after suffering from seizures. After local doctors hit a dead end he goes to the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, AZ. He has two brain biopsies and countless scans and blood tests but, in the end, no diagnosis is made. Where can he go from here?
