The entity demands good recall of differential diagnoses; a willingness to order basic studies and call consultants; ability to resist treating prematurely; and careful documentation, whether or not the patient is challenging the process of investigation.

Purdie's article certainly offers a methodology worth considering for organic brain syndrome.
