The science on CTE has a long ways to go to catch up to the way it's sometimes portrayed in the media.
You're a doctor and following this, right? That's something I've been wondering about, the headlines "90/93 EX-NFL PLAYERS HAVE BRAIN DISEASE!!!" sure do seem dramatic, but they're only testing people who are symptomatic, right?
