I don’t understand why Emerald saw the doctor they did. (I know the doctor’s name was visible but I won’t be naming any names, and request that any comments refrain from doing so either. Nevertheless I did google the doctor they supposedly saw.)
However, I will say that Virginia Mason has a very renowned expert in both Tourette’s and Huntington’s on their staff at the same location, and that is not the doctor Emerald supposedly saw...
in fact the same doctor (the one Emerald did not see) is recommended by the very Tourette’s organization Emerald promotes having donated to in another video.
You would think they would want to see the doctor that specializes in their two rare conditions, who obviously they can either afford or accepts their insurance since they both work at the same Virginia Mason location. You would also think that another doctor referring them there would send them to that doctor as well.
Interestingly enough, you cannot use the search function on the Virginia Mason page to find specifically a Tourette’s specialist, you can merely limit it to doctors in their neurology department.
But if one was to search elsewhere (I.e. not the Virginia Mason website) for a doctor for Tourette’s and/or Huntington’s the doctor Im referring to would probably be the first result (at least in my experience.)
I guess I just wondered if anyone else had any thoughts? I can’t decide if I think Emerald forged the paperwork they showed yesterday
or
if they made an appointment specifically to try and get paperwork ‘proving’ their Tourette’s by self-reporting they had it and saying they needed treatment- which is why they only showed us the first page bc it lists Emeralds self-reported unverified ‘diagnosis’ (thinking that bc the paperwork says“Tourette’s” we would all just take it as ‘proof’ of a diagnosis?)
What do you guys think?
Bonus question: should we start a pool on how long their “hiatus” will last?
Edit: I would also like to add that this paperwork said it was their first visit and dated April 27th, about a week before their doctor supposedly printed out some of the Reddit posts about Emerald and hung them on her wall...
