Does the press secretary need a cognitive test?

I'm a psychiatrist. I haven't worked with elderly patients in quite a few years now, so I'm no "Gero-doc," but if I had to hazard a wild guess, I'd say Biden is suffering from Parkinson's Disease or maybe one of the "Parkinson's Plus" neurodegenerative syndromes. His shuffling gait, mask-like face and moments of "freezing" --along with the mental gaffes--seem to point in that direction. But the strongest proof, for me, that something is seriously wrong with him is the fact that he refuses to do any neuro-cognitive testing. All he'd have to do to definitively put the rumours to rest (and greatly improve his chances of winning the election) is to have an objective doctor examine him and and announce to the world that he does not have dementia. So why wouldn't he?
