Nurse Duffy has put her symptoms in an online symptoms checker and now she is convinced she has dementia, but doesn't get it checked out.
I will let you know what happens but it can't be worse than 'Eastenders'!

Like you have dementia simply because you can't remember a few words! The woman is stressed! So far I'm not impressed with the storyline.
I think that is the right way to approach the subject, long terms of waiting for something to happen or someone to tell you.Would you believe there wasn't a mention of Duffy's memory test last night!
There was a bit more last night but I don't think that the BBC have done research properly because Duffy hasn't had a blood test or a scan!

Neither did my mother-in-law. Her Alzheimer's was diagnosed purely by the memory clinic on the basis of symptoms and the standard testing.
Thankyou Lemondrizzle,
I'd like to know how they plan to introduce treatment into the storyline and maybe highlight adult social care.

Yes I would like to know this too. While I don't have any issue with the diagnostic aspect of the storyline I really hope they don't dress things up in niceties going forward.
