[quote=Anonymous]My 88-year-old mother has had declining health and increasing anxiety the last few months. She is seeing a neurologist soon for her mysterious dizziness and nausea (that might be anxiety--vestibular issues have been ruled out). I live in another state, so my stepbrother will take her to the appointment. (She still drives but it's too far away for her to go alone.) He probably will wait in the waiting room. Here's my question: If the neurologist does some quick cognitive tests that suggest memory decline, maybe even early dementia, will he tell her those results? Or does the doc normally take a caretaker aside and tell hem? (Surely this is how it works with more severe dementia...) [/quote]
