Casualty
- Thread starter MaNaAk
- Start date
As some of you know I had a few stressful moments last week so on Saturday after an evening out I arrived home in time to watch Casualty. It began with Duffy, played by the excellent Cathy Shipton, remembering that she has her memory test at 5 pm. In between time there was all the usual drama and it wasn't until the very end that I got to see Duffy completing her test. She had trouble remembering three words at the beginning of the test and she said I have it don't I before the credits started to roll. Now I have to wait until Saturday to see what happened! Very annoying!

I know Beate! There are several things wrong with it. I remember raising my concerns at our local GP surgery and being told to come to dad's appointment with him!
MaNaAk
I think that is the right way to approach the subject, long terms of waiting for something to happen or someone to tell you.
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.
MaNaAk
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.
