Where do I go from here? I finally got my husband referred to a Memory Clinic after 3 years. He seen the Doctor and had many sessions of testing with a psychologist which showed major problems. The MRI showed Global Cortical Atrophy with a score of 2. My husband managed to blag the Doctor into thinking he is functioning normally so he said he couldn’t give a medical diagnosis of dementia and discharged him! The Doctor asked me about him in front of him so I couldn’t be honest because it would have embarrassed him and undermined him. Why would the Doctor do that? My husband convinced the Doctor he is running 3 businesses independently!!! The Doctor did say his results didn’t match the fact he is functioning normally but still discharged him. I know he’s getting worse and a scan can’t lie. He is a charmer and can talk the talk and the psychologist didn’t see through him either at first but how can an experienced Dementia Doctor be fooled.
I can only think he’s never come across anyone like him before as he is a Psychiatrist dealing with old age dementia. The appointment ended up like a lad’s night out talking about football. I’m worried how fast things will progress without treatment as his MRI 2 years ago was normal. I’m just in shock.
