I would send them for stress tests and I would take care of the sleep issues because I felt that I needed to take ownership of the patient.

And then I realized, you know, three months seems to be good.

Dhru Purohit Show
Alzheimer’s Isn’t Inevitable: The Science of Building a Stronger, Healthier Brain at Any Age with Dr. Majid Fotuhi

She was early 70s, and she was sitting home watching TV all the time.

And her sister said she actually doesn't watch TV.

Dhru Purohit Show
Alzheimer’s Isn’t Inevitable: The Science of Building a Stronger, Healthier Brain at Any Age with Dr. Majid Fotuhi

The TV watches her because she just sits there.

She doesn't talk much.
