A Quebec man, once diagnosed as insane by a neurologist, has actually been suffering from the effects of multiple sclerosis.
In 2004, 14 years after his initial diagnosis, a second neurologist discovered the truth.
Anatole Otis was 50 years old when his health began to deteriorate and he sought an examination by the first neurologist.
His family was skeptical of the diagnosis because he was still coherent.
Multiple sclerosis runs in Otis's family. His brother died of complications brought on by the disease.
His wife, Carmen Plourde, believes appropriate medication would have slowed the disease's progression. She is now seeking redress.
