New International Standard to Diagnose Alzheimer's

Found out from my mom that Alzheimers was mentioned for dad from a social worker/nurse. Not from any doctor at all. I guess a neurologist is not being seen until January, I'll have to write up a whole series of questions for that doctor  to attend to.  Although this doesn't tell you one damn thing about the test.
