ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Отрывок из книги
I am just the son of a beautiful woman whose mind was stolen from her.
I’m not a doctor, I need a spell-checker to write psychiatrist. I’ve no medical education or experience. And there are millions of people just like me, who really don’t understand half the information we’re told by health professionals. So I want to just describe my experience of Alzheimer’s disease in my family, in plain language, like it was, and how it is.
