Great news! My mom doesn't have dementia! Less great news: We only know that now

because three months ago, the doctor/imaging people MIXED UP HER MRI WITH SOMEONE WHO DOES HAVE DEMENTIA!! Mean time, she's been taking medication for 3 months for the dementia she DOESN'T have, and some dude is out there 3 months behind on medication for a disease he doesn't know he has!

W.T.EPH, people?!

Who are you going to sue? Her primary doctor who’s reacting

I'm not saying sue. I'm saying it needs to still be considered an option.

I was having memory problems until I started using a CPAP machine.
