Doctor, Please contact me if you need a consult. I'm happy to help. I do stand confident in my early diagnosis, however the symptoms are more acute; ie seeing threats from everyone, need to stimulate the humiliation response, to report a few.
I also agree with your principles guiding your non-intervention. ref: Research in today's NYT on 'How to Move a Mind'. Always at your service, and on this (nut)Case to its(his) conclusion.

Not only are you an old man, but one who seems lonely inside, and distraught. your anger at yourself, now turned towards others is a sad and pathetic thing...just an observance by The Good Doctor.

Not My Problem, just an observation by The Good Doctor. You see, I observe and comment, though I am not one much for "dialogue". After all, who's mind will be changed?
