A 76-year-old man attends the memory clinic with his friend.

A 76-year-old man attends the memory clinic with his friend. His friend has met him for coffee nearly every day for the past decade. He reports that the patient’s ability to do daily tasks like calculating the coffee shop bill became noticeably suddenly worse around 8 months ago. This was concerning, but as there was no further change, the patient declined to see a doctor. 

Last month, the friend reports that he noticed a further change, with his friend struggling to concentrate on his newspaper puzzles.
