Did you see how they tested him? Even you would have Alzheimer. There is a video that they show the testing. Young people would fail that test too, let alone an old man.

My Mom is 92. Lived with me for the last 18 yrs. I’ve got to deal with this problem everyday, have for yrs. As a single retirement age man it’s a new adventure everyday just trying to find out what she wants/will eat. Unfortunately, almost always there’s only 1 in the family that takes care of the aged parent. I’ve got 1 sibling that don’t help at all and 1 that helps about twice a month for a few hours. But this is my Mom, she was always there for me. I promised my Dad I’d take care of her, and I will! 1 of these days, she’ll be gone. I never once felt unloved, with either parent! Still don’t! That’s the 1 thing Mom is still capable of, love!
It sounds to me like you are doing a great job.. your Mom has made it to 92 what more can be asked for.. my aunt has just died at 94 so there are really no more surprises in life... I doubt if I will live until that great age! Be grateful for every day that you have with her and I wish her the very best and you..
maria parker Thanks for the feedback. Not doing so great. There’s a huge amount of stress involved for a caretaker. Happily, my sister has become more involved, still part time, but better. I’ve had to employ someone to help. Moms mobility is extremely limited so an assisted living facility is out of the question. Trying to keep her at home. I’ve had to take off lots of time, I’m losing weight, 20 lbs, I don’t need to lose weight. My family is worried about me now. By God’s Grace I’m still healthy! My Moms mental state is rapidly degrading. We’re both in God’s hands now!
@Noneya Business my cousin's parents both had Alzheimer's and she took care of both of her parents by herself because she was the only one left. So sorry to hear about your problem. Stay strong.
@@mildredrodriguez7020 Alzheimer’s has no cure. Using a clearly made-up story to sell snake oil to vulnerable people, likely scared and in emotional pain, is beyond messed up. Please re-evaluate what you’re doing. This is beyond advertising, this is about preying on the weak. You can kick rocks with this nonsense (edited for spelling)
We need MAID Legalized I work in a nursing home and see this disease ravage people into nothingness ,to the point where they end up sitting in a chair, drooling, fed then changed then medicated then put to bed, the next day get up, eat, changed fed then more meds sitting and staring, over and over and over, the cycle repeats, this is cruel, families stop visiting, friends are long gone, empty shells
Alzheimer's is the cruelest of diseases. You die alone, even when your family and loved ones surround your death bed. You don't know or recognize them. They're strangers. I watched my dad die this way. I would rather die from the most painful cancerous death with my last vision being of my family at my side, than to die surrounded by strangers.
Actually, it isn't because you get to a point where you do not realize what is going on because your cognitive functions completely deteriorate. Diseases like Lou Gherrigs is FAR worse, because your body deteriorates and becomes completely immobile, but your cognitive functions stay intact the whole time!
I could not disagree more strongly! He was very - VERY condescending! I went through this process, for almost eleven years! I'll tell you what my takeaway's were. Alzheimer's victims are treated like children. They are confused, and the first thing that gets stolen from them by clinicians is RESPECT. If you doubt what I'm saying, just visit a senior care center, and watch how the residents are talked to. Granted, most people in these centers are not medical professionals - they are, as we (family) concluded - underpaid butt wipers. This man - this Doctor (assuming) was in a unique position to discuss onset issues, yet he chose to speak to this couple like they were 5 years old. There is an excellent book that is available - it's called "The 36 Hour Day", and it's a living-and-breathing essay (care providers, family members, victims themselves, etc.) on brain disorders. The one takeaway I had that was immeasurably valuable was to LISTEN - not talk - to the sufferers. When my mom was in the 7th stage (there is no stage 8) my choice was to ask her questions, and to let her answer them - however she was able, even if she wasn't able. She mumbled, and she whispered, and her thoughts were disconnected, but I never interrupted her. The very last time I saw my mother smile was when she was trying to answer a question I asked her about ice-skating on the river as a young girl. I remembered the stories she used to tell me. She made no coherent responses, but she thought she was doing so, and I just listened to her. Why? Because her daily routine - every single day in that facility - was "How are you doing Maggie....? It's time for breakfast...." "Time for the bathroom, Maggie... you wanna go to the bathroom?" "Time for dinner, Maggie... let's get you over to the table...." Nobody EVER just sat with her and let her respond - other than me, and other family members. When you are confused, and nobody listens to you, that has to be the most frustrating and defeating circumstances that any person can endure. You are trying - desperately - to process what is going on around you, but people are just grabbing your arms, lifting you up, and taking you wherever the schedule dictates. I"m sure this Doctor is a decent man, but he's far too young to appreciate what I'm talking about. The loss of dignity - the lost of independence - the loss of interaction - - these are GIGANTIC issues! It would- in my opinion- be FAR better to tell someone with the onset of these diseases EXACTLY what can be expected. Let them process it the way YOU are processing these words - whether you agree or disagree. Don't talk to them like children.
@@MrBudcole Nope, this doctor was explaining things excellent. *Everything* in life is subjective, just because you don't care for his delivery does not mean others won't. Everyone has a different technique, not everyone can be what you want everyone to be like.
This doctor is excellent.He has very good communication skills.Speaks clearly,uses the right words and he has done a thorough examination to rule out other factors. Well done.I wish they do the same in England.
No he's not excellent, he's just blabbing to tell the bad news. They have no strategies apart from... You will be struggling more and more before you die not knowing anything or anyone. You will also become violent to your closest. We advise euthanasia but we cannot offer it. Best thing to do is check in with Dignitas now before they deem you to be an incoherent fucking mess.
Anti-theist I have 26 residents on my floor with Alzheimer’s. Only two can be combative occasionally, not even violent. And that’s only when they have to take a shower. (Many people with Alzheimer’s hate showers) and all except 5 can clothe, feed, and walk themselves. It’s not always what you see on Grey’s Anatomy. Most of my residents just won’t wake up one day.
Yes he is good and they do this to this level and better in the NHS. Also he uses medical jargon and needs to help then know what the plan is to help him and his wife cope. Tests won’t help practical things like memory diaries and colour markings.
Thank you, Sam and Lydia, for allowing us to be part of this difficult and vulnerable event. You are helping others to be able to get more information and not be as afraid.
your not taught this in america or most places or on tv but almost all health issues are casued by nutrition deficiencies and are easy to fix within a week. Nutrition ivs and nutrition injections supper effective in healing reversing health issues. you heal reverse dementia/altimers by myers cocktail iv and b12 injections. you get dementia/altimers because of b12 deficiencies. for example japan has the lowest rate of dementia/altimers because they health care system make sure there citizens get enough b12. You check your nutrition levels with thourough nutrition blood tests only functional medicine mds will do that and they know optimal levels not reg providers. anybody with health issues the root main cause is nutrition deficiencies. mental health issues, headache issues sleep issues balance issues the list goes on and on and its becasues of nutriton deficeinces. myers cocktail iv, vitamin d injection b12 injection, gludathione iv coq10 injections will heal and keep you at optimal health year round thats what pro althetes and rich people do year round. just type in google nutrition iv therapy near me. go get them done and start healing quick nutrition ivs and injections have been around since 1950's its a hidden secret casue there super effective and cure. anybody with altimer/dementian should do myers cocktail iv and b12 injections watch how fast they improve.
I see this man as a brave man. He wants to know where he's at with what he is experiencing. He's not hiding from it or in denial. He wants to know the best steps forward to deal with what he is facing. I have great respect for him!
I think she knew, she just never had definitively said that he had Alzheimer's before. Just saying the words is very emotional and signals a new stage in life.

I thought this was staged first but the wife crying seemed pretty real to me so I started wondering if these people consented to filming for the benefit of doctors and patients dealing with Alzheimer’s. Anyone know for sure? The fact that only first names are given for the actors of “Lydia” and “Sam” makes it seem like some sort of confidentiality that would imply it’s a legit delivery but I don’t know for sure. Either way, props to the doctor for wording that so tactfully. One of the most important qualities to have in this kind of field. You have to deliver a lot of bad news and you better know damn well how to make it the best. And not just beat around the bush. You have to be clear but word it as gently as possible without distorting the weight of the information you give.
I’d like to add, even if this video was scripted , this is the absolute correct way to treat human beings with such a diagnosis of a incurable disease. Respect and positive direction will help in a journey that can be so negative.
My mother died from Alzheimer's two years ago. It's a terrible decease that slowly but surely strips a person of all that makes you a person. My heart goes out to this man and his family and I whish them all the strength they need. My advise: spend as much time together and do the things he likes while you still can.......
I dont agree. Its all bs. “Living well with Alzeimers”, “staying ahead of the curve” what a crock its a devastating illness that there is not only no cure (as he admits) but very little that treats symptoms significantly
I think this is honestly the best way that conversation could be had. He was calm and concise with both the patient and the caregiver, and laid out everything in a very clear way.
My mom passed away last year because of Alzheimer's. Life is changed forever. Her father passed 20 years ago when they didnt have the meds that helped her get a few good years before she was gone. My heart still hurts that she saw in him what was going to happen to her. The sweetest and strongest woman I've ever known and was blessed to be her daughter. I pray these breakthrough medicines and the (I'm having a hard time with words alot lately ) but you understand what I'm trying to say. I hope that there's a cure for future families.

This video appears to be at least four years old and I just wonder what Sam's condition is presently. My husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and for two and half years I cared for him at home. He got so he could not stand and I could not physically lift him from his bed to his wheelchair and at that point he had to go into a hospital. He was there for 2 1/2 more years before he died in 2008. The first major flag I got that something was terribly wrong with him was when he asked me one day where we kept the cereal bowls. The cereal bowls had been kept in the exact same spot for over 20 years. Then he totally forgot how to use the microwave. One thing that gave me some comfort is that while his condition was devastating to me, it didn't seem to bother him much because he was not aware of how he was gradually losing more and more abilities and I was greatly comforted by the fact that in the five years from his diagnosis to his death, though he forgot many things, he never forgot who I was and he could always carry on a conversation with me and he maintained his sense of humor right up to the end. There is no cure for Alzheimer's but my husband was prescribed Aricept and Namenda which are thought to slow the progression somewhat. I do not know if it slowed the progression of Alzheimer's in my husband because I do not know what his condition would have been like if he had not been taking the medicine. As I watched this I thought that Lydia as Sam's caregiver is in for a long haul and I wonder how she is doing. This is a very sad disease both for the patient and the family. BTW, what a gentle and caring doctor Sam has. I was terribly impressed by the compassion he showed for both Sam and Lydia.
I am so sorry for your loss, and cannot imagine what it was like for you. I am sure you and your family did the best you could for as long as you could. It can be hard as a doctor to have to give this news, and even harder for a family to take it all in. Best wishes to you.
zedlips it seems that sometimes even some of the good people get really desensitized in this field. You can experience so many horrible things in a career span that the only way they can cope is to disconnect from empathy and emotions. This guy, staged or not at least KNOWS how he SHOULD be wording this stuff and I really appreciate that. It’s the first step to actually APPLYING what you know you should do. Very tactful and informative especially to people who are analytical and want a step by step of someone’s line of thinking of how they ended up at the conclusion.
My dad had alzheimers. I took care of him. I cried every week because I knew when he looked into my eyes he had forgotten who his son was. The life he led. At least I know he's at peace now.
This Dr has such a great bedside manner explaining this incidious disease.As a Dementia support worker we have advanced in leaps and bounds , with support networks for both the patient and care giver.
Honestly, if I ever got this diagnosis, I'd want to take my own life before it takes me. I'd rather die with dignity than slowly have my mind destroyed.
That’s exactly what I plan to do. My grandma got early onset Alzheimer’s at 55. If I’m unlucky too and get it through genes I will be peacefully ending my life I already talked about it with friends and family. Yes I am young as seen by my profile picture but I don’t want to be in that 1% of familial Alzheimer’s disease that is 99.99% guaranteed by deterministic genes of the faulty chromosome 21. Only 200 family lines have it and it’s usually super early like 30 years old. I am 23 now. I don’t care how anyone else feels about it since I was 14 I decided that. It’s my life and you are going to die anyway. My grandma suffered tremendously for no reason. It would have been better had she been gone I was so relieved when she had died she died with a smile on her face. It hurt her and our entire family and was a burden on everyone. So I will be ending my own life if that happens in a peaceful manner like taking a pill or carbon monoxide poisoning. Many people around where I live are religious and get mad saying you are disrupting “Gods” plan. I am an atheist. I don’t believe things were planned out and if there is a God that can control literally everything they wouldn’t have created such an awful disease and just sit their and watch people suffer good fucking people that don’t deserve this shit. I wholeheartedly agree with you. I don’t know whether or not you are a religious person I am not kicking on you if you are we all have reasons for what we choose to believe. I can accept every worldview however I grew up in a religious household I was a Christian fundamentalist at one time. Even if I were a Christian to this day I would feel like God would want me to take own life than suffer and despite what an all powerful being would want I would still do it anyway and ask for forgiveness even though truly I’ve done absolutely nothing wrong. When your dog or cat is sick and suffering you put it down you don’t watch it suffer for 20 years so you and spend money you don’t have and time the caregiver can never give back? Also what if you don’t have anyone to care for you what then? You’re screwed from the get go it would be absolutely better in my opinion to peacefully end your life and tell everyone goodbye while you still know them it’s sad and heartbreaking but you are going to die ANYWAY. We ALL are. Might as well enjoy your life while it’s here and make the most out of it and then rip the band aid off and go. No sense in letting the disease win. It’s an awful heartbreaking disease and I hope to find a cure for it or see someone else find a cure it needs to happen ASAP
@@soutinefan you’d have to time it right when you couldn’t remember ask someone to do it for you my husband says he will if I get sick from that and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that I requested that
It feels like an instructional video from a uni, but this is obliviously real and that Dr has a very good way with people. I have worked with a lot of doctors over the past couple of years and the majority have been fantastic people but only occasionally do you get a chap like this guy.
I wish my mom would have had a caring doctor like this doctor is, Her doctor didn't care he didn't order test for my mom.. I lost my mom last year December 17 2021. It was so hurtful and hard seeing mommy go through that awful disease.. I miss her each and everyday.. You are a fine doctor I pray that one day they will have a cure.. praying for this man too he and his wife🙏🙏♥️♥️💔
My heart breaks, as well, for this man and for his wife. And, as many other people have commented, this doctor is exceptional - so compassionate, well spoken, clear, etc.
I just watched how he did the memory test and now i watch the delivery of diagnosis. I'm more emotionally invested in his story than i am in most of the tv shows.
I want inform the general public that there's a permanent cure to Dementia because i just got my cure through Dr. Onyeneke on RUclips i urge you people contact him today his herbal medicine is magical i have suffered Dementia for the past 9 years before i got to found out about him so i said to myself i most let the general public know about this great man who restored my sanity, his Email is dronyenekeherbs@gmail.cm

Lost my great grandma / mother 15 years ago to this horrible sad disease. The journey was very heart wrenching and hard to see her go down like that. Love you Grandma!!!
I honestly would rather get the news that I had a month/week to live then the fact that I had alzheimers... I wouldn't wish the experience of a loved one slowly forgetting who you are on anybody. It was the most devastating day ever when I went to visit my grandmother in the nursing home on Easter and she was crying and terrified of me because she had no idea who I was and I was just so much bigger then her physically. Tore my fucking heart out man...

I lost it from 4:36-4:50. I know her pain in asking that question for your loved one. But what killed me is the blank distant face expression he had that entire portion. His face at that moment said a lot
Now this is the doctor I want on my side when I need care. What a knowledgeable, as well as kind and reassuring Doctor he is to his patient , calming his fears that he won't be alone nor the care giver either. This is how Doctor's are supposed to interact and treat their parents. What a shining star 🌟 you are to your profession. Don't ever change, the world desperately needs you Doctor.!! Thank you a million times for your humanity expressed and show to others in their worst of times and need.🦋🕊
This is among the hardest things for a doctor to do, and the worst part is that it will be just as hard for the patient and everyone else who hears it to accept. May that man live as long as possible.
@wheels turn right? It's ok to say a little bit, but he went on for way too long. It would have made me start to think the news wasn't going to be so bad. And then he turns around and says it is. Smh.
I remember when we had a similar talk with my dad's doctor. The doctor very strongly suggested that we consider a nursing facility for dad. He has Parkinson's/ Alzheimer's and was suffering multiple falls . It was a very difficult but necessary appointment. Dad cried, we cried. The doctor shared his personal experience with his dad which let us know that he understood . That was 1 1/2 years ago. We found a very good facility for him. He is doing very well physically. We visit him constantly and he liked that. We are appreciating the time we have with him. He's got the mind of a child so he is our little boy. God has been very good to us. We will continue to cherish our time together.

I LOVE THIS DOCTOR, HIS EMPATHY and chair side manner is stupendous. How long has it been since anyone has seen such an empathetic doctor? Its been years for me.
My grandfather lived over 10 years with the disease, from the time the symptoms appeared. His was very slow progression. He started showing signs and symptoms in 96, got diagnosed in 97. He passed from the complications in 2010. He did very well until my grandmother passed. She kept him going, I think her and the meds he took helped slow down the progression because he always had routines that she made sure he kept up with, she made sure he took his meds, and he read her books every night to keep his brain moving. She could have easily read the books herself. But, why when her husband could too. :)

@@k.o.5041 first of all that would be illegal, cause there is no way they would consent to this. Secondly, if you look at the description of the video, the diction clearly implies that its not real.
If this is not real then this is some top shelf acting ! The patient acts just like a bunch of older guys do & the woman reacts just like a lot of wives !
I don’t have any relatives in my family that have Alzheimer’s (thank god) but I’ll pray tonight for those that do. I like this video because it also shows techniques to do-it-yourself diagnoses for Alzheimers. Good luck, y’all are strong.
He covered the essential bases, and was informing the man's partner in a clear, full and appropriate way. She was probably the one who would be trying to ensure that he did what he could do, in order to have the best quality of life within an essentially hopeless situation. She was also being reassured that both she and the man would receive the best ongoing care, with reviews at regular intervals. The specialist had to pace it in a way that the woman would take in and comprehend as much of what he was saying as possible. No doubt that, in the ensuing minutes of the visit, he would discuss what specific treatment and medication would be best for the patient, and we can hope that he told them both how the carer(s) would be aided. Good practice would dictate that they would leave the surgery with printed documentation which would back up what had been discussed, and which would be helpful for others of them over the coming weeks, months and years.
My mum and gran both died from Alzheimer’s disease, it was horrible toward the end of life. My dad was fine . But its so scary and worries me I have nursed people with dementia I just pray to god I stay healthy 😳
My mom had Alzheimer’s and it was slow moving. Luckily for her, she had been a voracious reader and she worked until she was 76. By the time she received her diagnosis, she and my brother and I noticed some memory issues. When she was in her mid 80’s, she began to forget the names for every day items and would re-name them to what she thought they were. For example, Hershey’s Kisses became silver tops and she forgot the names of family members such as my children and my brother’s son. We had to eventually put her in a personal care home because she was mixing her meds up. When she was in her mid-90’s she forgot how to eat. She would take her fork and just smash the food and wouldn’t feed herself. Her final weeks were the hardest on us..she was so very very thin, she only weighed 89 lbs and it made her cheeks so sunken. Alzheimer’s is such a horrible illness..it’s almost harder on the family seeing their loved one going through this. What was so upsetting is my mom was much healthier than I am in my 60’s. She only had to take a few medications compared to my 30 I have to take daily. You know how some people will say “your mom lived a good long life.” I hate to tell them that they are wrong, her final 10-12 years were a nightmare.
My amazing 70 year old aunt was just diagnosed with Alzheimer, words cannot describe this woman. She lives by herself raised 5 kids. We live in the same state but different counties.

I hope this doctor is like this all the time and not pretending because he’s being filmed. I don’t think my dad had a doctor like that. This is a horrible disease and I’m terrified of dying of it more than cancer.😭😭😭
This has to be the worst disease in the world. My mother died in terrible pain of cancer but she never forgot who she was or what she'd done in her life. She knew right to the end she was loved and who those people were. Your memories are who you are without them you're a shell. I think that was the most heartbreaking part of this video when his carer, I'm assuming it's his daughter, asked when would he forget who she was because that in a way is when you really lose that person. They're there but at the same time they're not. My mother in law had dementia and she completely forgot everything about herself and who her own children were she just sat in a chair drooling in a state of complete none existence and it broke everyone who knew her's heart. She was a lover of life, a happy fun loving person until the disease came and just destroyed her. There's a lot of research going on in the world about this disease and we can only hope they have a breakthrough soon. God bless these people and I agree with the other comments in this thread, the doctor is a legend, a genuinely compassionate man and good at his job.
It IS the worst disease in the world. They brains are slowly dying every day. Its 100% worse when you live with them. I live with my Mom that has dementia. Shes So mean to me now.

lord i wished we had a doctor like this gentleman in our surgery in the UK. so understanding and very professional .keep up with the great work you are doing doctor, you are a credit to your profession
Noneyabusiness (respondent below) I hear ya! I see this video is 5 yrs old and hope finds you well. I did the same thing my husband and I . 6 sibs and no help , 2 brothers thought a visit on occasional sundays was their part . she was in skilled care 8 years a broken hip was the end of life as she knew it. As a nurse I did everything in my power to support love and advocate as did my sweet husband. she died at 91 ,all her money gone , My husband and me buried her and sued all the sibs for 8 years of round the clock nursing care at current rate ( my husband is a nurse also) and total other expenses not covered by insurance plus a very expensive funeral. We weren't going to scrimp on her send off!! 50% of caregivers predecease the ones they care for. God bless the care givers. I don't regret a minute I spent caring for my Mother. my hubby loves and misses her too.
God bless you for what you are doing. I lost my mom to this horrible disease. Also, two of her sisters. Thank you for being there for her. It is hard, but you will be glad that you did. Every little word, every little smile; all this will give you comfort.
The doctors thought my husband's grandmother had dementia. When she started going to a new doctor, however, he figured out it was the prescriptions she was taking. When he took her off of most of them the "dementia" cleared up. Too bad that's not the case for all people suffering from this problem.
Just wanted to say that I was thinking of the most tactful and calm ways to say this without causing anxiety or anything and this guy did way better than how I would imagine doing this. SOOO tactful, just really satisfying to see how he worded everything to be extremely clear to the patient but not abrasive. Not beating around the bush, but just putting things out there tactfully and non abrasively.
I agree 100% you nice people are very lucky to have such a kind and understanding Doctor. Thank you for allowing this to be video taped. It is very helpful and for folks who watch this it is very beneficial. GOD Bless you ALL

me. I promised my Dad I’d take care of her, and I will! 1 of these days, she’ll be gone. I never once felt unloved, with either parent! Still don’t! That’s the 1 thing Mom is still capable of, love!

You are a decent person, God will bless you for seeing about your Mother !
Good luck to you and your family. I can imagine its hard.
It sounds to me like you are doing a great job.. your Mom has made it to 92 what more can be asked for.. my aunt has just died at 94 so there are really no more surprises in life... I doubt if I will live until that great age! Be grateful for every day that you have with her and I wish her the very best and you..
maria parker Thanks for the feedback. Not doing so great. There’s a huge amount of stress involved for a caretaker. Happily, my sister has become more involved, still part time, but better. I’ve had to employ someone to help. Moms mobility is extremely limited so an assisted living facility is out of the question. Trying to keep her at home. I’ve had to take off lots of time, I’m losing weight, 20 lbs, I don’t need to lose weight. My family is worried about me now. By God’s Grace I’m still healthy! My Moms mental state is rapidly degrading. We’re both in God’s hands now!
@Noneya Business my cousin's parents both had Alzheimer's and she took care of both of her parents by herself because she was the only one left. So sorry to hear about your problem. Stay strong.
This man looks afraid. My heart goes out to him.

I work in a nursing home and see this disease ravage people into nothingness ,to the point where they end up sitting in a chair, drooling, fed then changed then medicated then put to bed, the next day get up, eat, changed fed then more meds sitting and staring, over and over and over, the cycle repeats, this is cruel, families stop visiting, friends are long gone, empty shells
Alzheimer's is the cruelest of diseases. You die alone, even when your family and loved ones surround your death bed. You don't know or recognize them. They're strangers. I watched my dad die this way. I would rather die from the most painful cancerous death with my last vision being of my family at my side, than to die surrounded by strangers.
ALS is
Thankfully you are unaware of them being strangers.
@@bmbutler2 Indeed -- the doctors project it's much worse for the family as things near the end.
Actually, it isn't because you get to a point where you do not realize what is going on because your cognitive functions completely deteriorate. Diseases like Lou Gherrigs is FAR worse, because your body deteriorates and becomes completely immobile, but your cognitive functions stay intact the whole time!
You are never alone if you know God, He is with you in your situation.
everyone deserves a dr likes this man. He is amazing.
That depends. He started out good but they cut the video too short. Does he tell them to change their diet? Etc?
@@nancyfahey7518 i think he just means the way Dr. was talking to his patient and how he was interacting with them in such a hard question
I could not disagree more strongly! He was very - VERY condescending! I went through this process, for almost eleven years! I'll tell you what my takeaway's were. Alzheimer's victims are treated like children. They are confused, and the first thing that gets stolen from them by clinicians is RESPECT. If you doubt what I'm saying, just visit a senior care center, and watch how the residents are talked to. Granted, most people in these centers are not medical professionals - they are, as we (family) concluded - underpaid butt wipers. This man - this Doctor (assuming) was in a unique position to discuss onset issues, yet he chose to speak to this couple like they were 5 years old. There is an excellent book that is available - it's called "The 36 Hour Day", and it's a living-and-breathing essay (care providers, family members, victims themselves, etc.) on brain disorders. The one takeaway I had that was immeasurably valuable was to LISTEN - not talk - to the sufferers. When my mom was in the 7th stage (there is no stage 8) my choice was to ask her questions, and to let her answer them - however she was able, even if she wasn't able. She mumbled, and she whispered, and her thoughts were disconnected, but I never interrupted her. The very last time I saw my mother smile was when she was trying to answer a question I asked her about ice-skating on the river as a young girl. I remembered the stories she used to tell me. She made no coherent responses, but she thought she was doing so, and I just listened to her. Why? Because her daily routine - every single day in that facility - was "How are you doing Maggie....? It's time for breakfast...." "Time for the bathroom, Maggie... you wanna go to the bathroom?" "Time for dinner, Maggie... let's get you over to the table...." Nobody EVER just sat with her and let her respond - other than me, and other family members. When you are confused, and nobody listens to you, that has to be the most frustrating and defeating circumstances that any person can endure. You are trying - desperately - to process what is going on around you, but people are just grabbing your arms, lifting you up, and taking you wherever the schedule dictates. I"m sure this Doctor is a decent man, but he's far too young to appreciate what I'm talking about. The loss of dignity - the lost of independence - the loss of interaction - - these are GIGANTIC issues! It would- in my opinion- be FAR better to tell someone with the onset of these diseases EXACTLY what can be expected. Let them process it the way YOU are processing these words - whether you agree or disagree. Don't talk to them like children.
If I could put everything I've stated into a single, cohesive video, it would be this one: ruclips.net/video/U8TsAh-zYFI/видео.html
@@MrBudcole Nope, this doctor was explaining things excellent. *Everything* in life is subjective, just because you don't care for his delivery does not mean others won't. Everyone has a different technique, not everyone can be what you want everyone to be like.
This is how I lost my dad in 07. God I miss him so much. It's a long and slow good bye. Hug your parents tell them you love them. Life is to short.

take supplements. Dont play the fool.
This doctor is excellent.He has very good communication skills.Speaks clearly,uses the right words and he has done a thorough examination to rule out other factors. Well done.I wish they do the same in England.
No he's not excellent, he's just blabbing to tell the bad news. They have no strategies apart from... You will be struggling more and more before you die not knowing anything or anyone. You will also become violent to your closest. We advise euthanasia but we cannot offer it. Best thing to do is check in with Dignitas now before they deem you to be an incoherent fucking mess.
Anti-theist I have 26 residents on my floor with Alzheimer’s. Only two can be combative occasionally, not even violent. And that’s only when they have to take a shower. (Many people with Alzheimer’s hate showers) and all except 5 can clothe, feed, and walk themselves. It’s not always what you see on Grey’s Anatomy. Most of my residents just won’t wake up one day.
This doctor is indeed very caring and trying to communicate on a level that Sam can understand.
Yes he is good and they do this to this level and better in the NHS.
Also he uses medical jargon and needs to help then know what the plan is to help him and his wife cope. Tests won’t help practical things like memory diaries and colour markings.

your not taught this in america or most places or on tv but almost all health issues are casued by nutrition deficiencies and are easy to fix within a week. Nutrition ivs and nutrition injections supper effective in healing reversing health issues. you heal reverse dementia/altimers by myers cocktail iv and b12 injections. you get dementia/altimers because of b12 deficiencies. for example japan has the lowest rate of dementia/altimers because they health care system make sure there citizens get enough b12. You check your nutrition levels with thourough nutrition blood tests only functional medicine mds will do that and they know optimal levels not reg providers. anybody with health issues the root main cause is nutrition deficiencies. mental health issues, headache issues sleep issues balance issues the list goes on and on and its becasues of nutriton deficeinces. myers cocktail iv, vitamin d injection b12 injection, gludathione iv coq10 injections will heal and keep you at optimal health year round thats what pro althetes and rich people do year round. just type in google nutrition iv therapy near me. go get them done and start healing quick nutrition ivs and injections have been around since 1950's its a hidden secret casue there super effective and cure. anybody with altimer/dementian should do myers cocktail iv and b12 injections watch how fast they improve.

Sometimes our fate is not up to us - if we don’t take steps to insure it.
Actually that's not quite how Alzheimer's works. But no, it's not a condition you'd wish on anybody.
I see this man as a brave man. He wants to know where he's at with what he is experiencing. He's not hiding from it or in denial. He wants to know the best steps forward to deal with what he is facing. I have great respect for him!

My eyes got tears in them with Lidia’s (or Lydia’s) reaction to the diagnosis. Such a heartbreaking diagnosis.
I even felt more with Lydia. As much as felt bad for husband. Lydia really hit me in my heart
The fear was always there for her... This was the moment of truth
I think she knew, she just never had definitively said that he had Alzheimer's before. Just saying the words is very emotional and signals a new stage in life.

The first bits of dialogue in this video had me convinced this was an instructional video on how to tell a patient and the acting was terrible
Probably not the 1st time thru the info, but the wife's tears seem pretty real to me.
I thought this was staged first but the wife crying seemed pretty real to me so I started wondering if these people consented to filming for the benefit of doctors and patients dealing with Alzheimer’s. Anyone know for sure? The fact that only first names are given for the actors of “Lydia” and “Sam” makes it seem like some sort of confidentiality that would imply it’s a legit delivery but I don’t know for sure.
Either way, props to the doctor for wording that so tactfully. One of the most important qualities to have in this kind of field. You have to deliver a lot of bad news and you better know damn well how to make it the best. And not just beat around the bush. You have to be clear but word it as gently as possible without distorting the weight of the information you give.

My mom passed away last year because of Alzheimer's. Life is changed forever. Her father passed 20 years ago when they didnt have the meds that helped her get a few good years before she was gone.

Thank you for your input . Can you tell me what kind of meducation did your mother take ? I will appreciate your time and help. Thank you
My mum had alzheimers disease. She barely recognised us. She went into a home and sadly declined and eventually passed, away
This video appears to be at least four years old and I just wonder what Sam's condition is presently. My husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and for two and half years I cared for him at home. He got so he could not stand and I could not physically lift him from his bed to his wheelchair and at that point he had to go into a hospital. He was there for 2 1/2 more years before he died in 2008. The first major flag I got that something was terribly wrong with him was when he asked me one day where we kept the cereal bowls. The cereal bowls had been kept in the exact same spot for over 20 years. Then he totally forgot how to use the microwave. One thing that gave me some comfort is that while his condition was devastating to me, it didn't seem to bother him much because he was not aware of how he was gradually losing more and more abilities and I was greatly comforted by the fact that in the five years from his diagnosis to his death, though he forgot many things, he never forgot who I was and he could always carry on a conversation with me and he maintained his sense of humor right up to the end. There is no cure for Alzheimer's but my husband was prescribed Aricept and Namenda which are thought to slow the progression somewhat. I do not know if it slowed the progression of Alzheimer's in my husband because I do not know what his condition would have been like if he had not been taking the medicine. As I watched this I thought that Lydia as Sam's caregiver is in for a long haul and I wonder how she is doing. This is a very sad disease both for the patient and the family. BTW, what a gentle and caring doctor Sam has. I was terribly impressed by the compassion he showed for both Sam and Lydia.
I am so sorry for your loss, and cannot imagine what it was like for you. I am sure you and your family did the best you could for as long as you could. It can be hard as a doctor to have to give this news, and even harder for a family to take it all in. Best wishes to you.
This is a training video.

it's not a real diagnosis in this video, dramatization
I believe this is a "depiction", possibly with actors with the doctor
What a professional Doctor, very much in touch with humanity.
zedlips it seems that sometimes even some of the good people get really desensitized in this field. You can experience so many horrible things in a career span that the only way they can cope is to disconnect from empathy and emotions. This guy, staged or not at least KNOWS how he SHOULD be wording this stuff and I really appreciate that. It’s the first step to actually APPLYING what you know you should do. Very tactful and informative especially to people who are analytical and want a step by step of someone’s line of thinking of how they ended up at the conclusion.
I watched my mum go through this - it nearly destroyed me too - can't say it any other way - -
God bless this Doctor. He’s a good man.

Same there is no point in living the rest of your life knowing that your brain is slowly rotting away.

You SAY that..but when your faced with something terrible like this, you change..
That’s exactly what I plan to do. My grandma got early onset Alzheimer’s at 55. If I’m unlucky too and get it through genes I will be peacefully ending my life I already talked about it with friends and family. Yes I am young as seen by my profile picture but I don’t want to be in that 1% of familial Alzheimer’s disease that is 99.99% guaranteed by deterministic genes of the faulty chromosome 21. Only 200 family lines have it and it’s usually super early like 30 years old. I am 23 now. I don’t care how anyone else feels about it since I was 14 I decided that. It’s my life and you are going to die anyway. My grandma suffered tremendously for no reason. It would have been better had she been gone I was so relieved when she had died she died with a smile on her face. It hurt her and our entire family and was a burden on everyone. So I will be ending my own life if that happens in a peaceful manner like taking a pill or carbon monoxide poisoning. Many people around where I live are religious and get mad saying you are disrupting “Gods” plan. I am an atheist. I don’t believe things were planned out and if there is a God that can control literally everything they wouldn’t have created such an awful disease and just sit their and watch people suffer good fucking people that don’t deserve this shit. I wholeheartedly agree with you. I don’t know whether or not you are a religious person I am not kicking on you if you are we all have reasons for what we choose to believe. I can accept every worldview however I grew up in a religious household I was a Christian fundamentalist at one time. Even if I were a Christian to this day I would feel like God would want me to take own life than suffer and despite what an all powerful being would want I would still do it anyway and ask for forgiveness even though truly I’ve done absolutely nothing wrong. When your dog or cat is sick and suffering you put it down you don’t watch it suffer for 20 years so you and spend money you don’t have and time the caregiver can never give back? Also what if you don’t have anyone to care for you what then? You’re screwed from the get go it would be absolutely better in my opinion to peacefully end your life and tell everyone goodbye while you still know them it’s sad and heartbreaking but you are going to die ANYWAY. We ALL are. Might as well enjoy your life while it’s here and make the most out of it and then rip the band aid off and go. No sense in letting the disease win. It’s an awful heartbreaking disease and I hope to find a cure for it or see someone else find a cure it needs to happen ASAP
@@soutinefan you’d have to time it right when you couldn’t remember ask someone to do it for you my husband says he will if I get sick from that and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that I requested that

Some of the info is definitely necessary -- "we investigated the alternatives, but it looks like AD" may be a little brusque for most folks.
I remember when we had a similar talk with my dad's doctor. The doctor very strongly suggested that we consider a nursing facility for dad. He has Parkinson's/ Alzheimer's and was suffering multiple falls . It was a very difficult but necessary appointment. Dad cried, we cried. The doctor shared his personal experience with his dad which let us know that he understood . That was 1 1/2 years ago. We found a very good facility for him. He is doing very well physically. We visit him constantly and he liked that. We are appreciating the time we have with him. He's got the mind of a child so he is our little boy. God has been very good to us. We will continue to cherish our time together.

I LOVE THIS DOCTOR, HIS EMPATHY and chair side manner is stupendous. How long has it been since anyone has seen such an empathetic doctor? Its been years for me.

You can tell by the man's affect that he is afflicted by this disease.
I took care of my Mom for eleven years with Alzheimer's and Dementia with delusions. I do not wish Alzheimer's on any family. Mahalo for sharing.
My grandfather lived over 10 years with the disease, from the time the symptoms appeared. His was very slow progression. He started showing signs and symptoms in 96, got diagnosed in 97. He passed from the complications in 2010. He did very well until my grandmother passed. She kept him going, I think her and the meds he took helped slow down the progression because he always had routines that she made sure he kept up with, she made sure he took his meds, and he read her books every night to keep his brain moving. She could have easily read the books herself. But, why when her husband could too. :)
*It is always heartbreaking!! My husband was diagnosed with multifactorial Alzheimer's disease. This also triggered epileptic fits.. To be blunt, all the prescription drugs we’ve used did not yield any positive improvement. Lately I have found that Homeocure-Worldwide natural treatment along with adopting a healthy lifestyle has helped him recover completely.

Very good explanation for us who has no knowledge on the disease. A great doctor.
I loved the way doctor handled it
The patient is very aware of his condition. The Dr is great. They'll all work thru this illness the best way for this man.
This isn’t a real patient/physician encounter, it’s a demonstration.
Wrong Daniel. It is a demonstration with a real patient.
@@k.o.5041 first of all that would be illegal, cause there is no way they would consent to this. Secondly, if you look at the description of the video, the diction clearly implies that its not real.
If this is not real then this is some top shelf acting ! The patient acts just like a bunch of older guys do & the woman reacts just like a lot of wives !
@@xmodMAN76 They told Sam what they wanted to do., they had us sign legal forms. It is for teaching purposes, but Sam is a real patient.
Lydia Hinojosa oh wow that’s cool
Sucks.Wretched disease. My Mom, RIP, had it........😢
I'm sorry
My mom had it to along with Lou Garrick's disease and I'm so afraid that I have Altimers at 58 years old. Very nerve wracking
Great video for medical professionals that have to speak to patients regarding bad news.
I don’t have any relatives in my family that have Alzheimer’s (thank god) but I’ll pray tonight for those that do. I like this video because it also shows techniques to do-it-yourself diagnoses for Alzheimers. Good luck, y’all are strong.
Great video, such a good example of having this difficult conversation. Thanks for sharing this with us🙏

It took him so long to tell him, the patient already forgot what he was there for
He covered the essential bases, and was informing the man's partner in a clear, full and appropriate way. She was probably the one who would be trying to ensure that he did what he could do, in order to have the best quality of life within an essentially hopeless situation. She was also being reassured that both she and the man would receive the best ongoing care, with reviews at regular intervals.
The specialist had to pace it in a way that the woman would take in and comprehend as much of what he was saying as possible. No doubt that, in the ensuing minutes of the visit, he would discuss what specific treatment and medication would be best for the patient, and we can hope that he told them both how the carer(s) would be aided.
Good practice would dictate that they would leave the surgery with printed documentation which would back up what had been discussed, and which would be helpful for others of them over the coming weeks, months and years.
Thats terrible but terribly funny.
You're horrible... but that was funny lol.
As a psychology graduate I feel satisfied with the way the conversation was held
Thank you Dr for showing kindness and answering some of my questions.
What a Great and sympathetic communicator this young Dr is!

Someone trying to convince that they should still be considered a person is the hardest part to watch.
we need doctors like that very caring and serious about the health and hes just great
Wow, how fantastic to have such an informative & caring physician. This has not been our experience.
My mum and gran both died from Alzheimer’s disease, it was horrible toward the end of life. My dad was fine . But its so scary and worries me
I have nursed people with dementia I just pray to god I stay healthy 😳
Exercise, exercise, exercise. And clean eating.
What a kind wonderful doctor.
It's great to have a doctor who is this compassionate.

Fabulous doctor!
My mom had Alzheimer’s and it was slow moving. Luckily for her, she had been a voracious reader and she worked until she was 76. By the time she received her diagnosis, she and my brother and I noticed some memory issues. When she was in her mid 80’s, she began to forget the names for every day items and would re-name them to what she thought they were. For example, Hershey’s Kisses became silver tops and she forgot the names of family members such as my children and my brother’s son. We had to eventually put her in a personal care home because she was mixing her meds up. When she was in her mid-90’s she forgot how to eat. She would take her fork and just smash the food and wouldn’t feed herself. Her final weeks were the hardest on us..she was so very very thin, she only weighed 89 lbs and it made her cheeks so sunken. Alzheimer’s is such a horrible illness..it’s almost harder on the family seeing their loved one going through this. What was so upsetting is my mom was much healthier than I am in my 60’s. She only had to take a few medications compared to my 30 I have to take daily. You know how some people will say “your mom lived a good long life.” I hate to tell them that they are wrong, her final 10-12 years were a nightmare.

My amazing 70 year old aunt was just diagnosed with Alzheimer, words cannot describe this woman. She lives by herself raised 5 kids. We live in the same state but different counties.

this doctor is sooo care taking and loving... great MD!
I hope this doctor is like this all the time and not pretending because he’s being filmed. I don’t think my dad had a doctor like that. This is a horrible disease and I’m terrified of dying of it more than cancer.😭😭😭

This has to be the worst disease in the world. My mother died in terrible pain of cancer but she never forgot who she was or what she'd done in her life. She knew right to the end she was loved and who those people were. Your memories are who you are without them you're a shell. I think that was the most heartbreaking part of this video when his carer, I'm assuming it's his daughter, asked when would he forget who she was because that in a way is when you really lose that person. They're there but at the same time they're not. My mother in law had dementia and she completely forgot everything about herself and who her own children were she just sat in a chair drooling in a state of complete none existence and it broke everyone who knew her's heart. She was a lover of life, a happy fun loving person until the disease came and just destroyed her. There's a lot of research going on in the world about this disease and we can only hope they have a breakthrough soon. God bless these people and I agree with the other comments in this thread, the doctor is a legend, a genuinely compassionate man and good at his job.
It IS the worst disease in the world.
They brains are slowly dying every day. Its 100% worse when you live with them. I live with my Mom that has dementia. Shes So mean to me now.
God gives me healing when I simply pray a prayer of blessings for Benny Hinn's ministry. Anyone can try praying for it too, it may help them. The website is www.BennyHinn.org
Voice Of The Martyrs and CBN's 700 Club are two ministries you can try praying for too. I love praying for and donating to these ministries cuz it heals me to do so. God bless you and your family and God loves you all so much.
@@sierrasiennasavahnadesertn6605 keep praying to the man don't exist cuz in the end they will die....
Great Doc,, Great empathy,, Great understanding,, True gent,,, really explained it in detail so patient could understand it... 👍👍
Fantastic way the doctor put it. Heartfelt.
Any disease that’s life threatening is horrible reality,but I do know that people with Alzheimer’s disease is so difficult to care for.I hope he does well.My prayers

This breaks my soul my father passed with this cruel disease i wish he had such a lovely caring doctor like this guy !!
These are quality subtitles. Way better than on most movies.
Been through this heart wrenching disease..stay strong for a cure 💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏
Noneyabusiness (respondent below) I hear ya! I see this video is 5 yrs old and hope finds you well. I did the same thing my husband and I . 6 sibs and no help , 2 brothers thought a visit on occasional sundays was their part . she was in skilled care 8 years a broken hip was the end of life as she knew it. As a nurse I did everything in my power to support love and advocate as did my sweet husband. she died at 91 ,all her money gone , My husband and me buried her and sued all the sibs for 8 years of round the clock nursing care at current rate ( my husband is a nurse also) and total other expenses not covered by insurance plus a very expensive funeral. We weren't going to scrimp on her send off!! 50% of caregivers predecease the ones they care for. God bless the care givers. I don't regret a minute I spent caring for my Mother. my hubby loves and misses her too.
God bless you for what you are doing. I lost my mom to this horrible disease. Also, two of her sisters. Thank you for being there for her. It is hard, but you will be glad that you did. Every little word, every little smile; all this will give you comfort.

What a wonderfull caring Doctor. Not only for his patient but for his wife 👏👏👏
Oh this Dr is awesome
What a good man
I thought he did pretty good with the test. Bless him
My brother is 71yrs old and has no memory. He doesn't remember what someone says but he remembers things happening around him.
The STRUGGLE, is getting the patient TO AGREE TO BE TESTED!, Where's the Help video on that?
The doctors thought my husband's grandmother had dementia. When she started going to a new doctor, however, he figured out it was the prescriptions she was taking. When he took her off of most of them the "dementia" cleared up. Too bad that's not the case for all people suffering from this problem.
If we could only all have a physician like this! Empathy, facts and listening skills.
Just wanted to say that I was thinking of the most tactful and calm ways to say this without causing anxiety or anything and this guy did way better than how I would imagine doing this.
SOOO tactful, just really satisfying to see how he worded everything to be extremely clear to the patient but not abrasive. Not beating around the bush, but just putting things out there tactfully and non abrasively.
Like buddah
I agree 100% you nice people are very lucky to have such a kind and understanding Doctor. Thank you for allowing this to be video taped. It is very helpful and for folks who watch this it is very beneficial. GOD Bless you ALL
Chill out
I think it’s a training video. It’s not a real patient
@@aprilapril2 yup
