Reply to comment by Less-Market9641 in TIL about childhood dementia. It is a result of progressive brain damage and can be caused by over 70 rare genetic disorders. 700,000 children are estimated to be living with some form of childhood dementia today. 48,300 children die from childhood dementia each year. by GremlinBandit

When my client went to the hospital he was running a high fever. The hospital gave him a small amount of aspirin to reduce it but refused to give more because it might hurt his liver, even though we knew by that time he wasn't going to recover. They also argued about giving him ketamine to keep him under even after his mother explained multiple times that he was resistant to milder sedatives and aggressive when upset/confused.
